Thunder Road

by Kevan Manwaring

On a disastrous bike trip around Europe, rocking drifter Eddie Redcrow, a 27-year old Métis with First Nations and Icelandic blood from Gimli, Manitoba, gives a lift to a powerful, mysterious woman, Fenja Bergrisar. She is a member of the Wild Hunt MCC, and, hot on her tail, Eddie follows her to the Gathering – a major biker rumble on the Isle of Man – and gets embroiled in her dangerous world of outlaw gangs and modern-day Vikings. When the catastrophic eruption of an Icelandic volcano causes a global nuclear winter, civilisation spirals into chaos, and every one must fight to survive. Which tribe does Eddie belong too? As old gods awaken all must choose sides in the coming battle for the wyrd of the world.
