Hitchhiking Through Fire

by Brent McKnight

“A merciless wind whips grains of sand with a sound like a woman screaming.” Amid the ruins of the old world, desperate remnants of humanity cling to existence, ruled by tyrants and beset by flesh-eating monsters. Bracken roams the barren wasteland, a hard, broken man. Pursued by a vicious warlord, he transports an orphaned boy named Huxley across the desert. On their journey through ravaged cities and desolate terrain, the unlikely companions come face-to-face with devastation and hopelessness, searching for purpose and redemption on the road.

[Matt Oakes · Rating 5 out of 5]

Imagine 'Mad Max' had to square off against zombies and you'd get a good general sense of what's in store for Brent McKnight's debut novel 'Hitchhiking Through Fire'. McKnight's prose are sophisticated without being too flashy or out to prove anything and he proves more than competent at creating compelling characters. His book is a old good fashion page-turner, high on energy and cinematic imagery, and entertaining the whole way through. A great read and highly recommended.
