Red Newman has carried the weight of his father’s brutal murder for two decades, running freight across sun-scorched highways and nursing a single goal: to kill the cold-eyed shooter who pulled the trigger that fateful day in the roadside diner.
That man—Vein—currently languishes in a high-security prison, and Red is finally about to exact his revenge on the man who stole his father’s future. That is, until a spacecraft crash-lands in the prison yard and the downed alien pilot hijacks Vein’s body.
Trapped behind the wheel of his Peterbilt, Red finds himself hauling more than cargo. Government heavies close in, determined to seize whatever crashed from the sky. Vein isn’t exactly Vein anymore, and Red’s forced to question whether vengeance is all he’s got left—or if there’s something bigger waiting in the darkness between the stars.
Starline Trucking hurtles across desert highways and hidden canyons on a white-knuckle race toward destiny—blurring the line between justice and cosmic fate.
