Caught by police with moonshine in the trunk of his uncle's car, Everett Dumphee is faced with the decision to spend ten years in prison or enlist in the US Army. He opts for what he thinks is freedom-a hitch in the Army. Due to bureaucratic negligence, Dumphee-incorrectly labeled as the fastest bootleg driver in West Virginia-is issued the occupational specialty designation of Expert Truck Driver. Subsequently, he is selected for a top-secret assignment in a newly designed and state-of-the-art All Terrain Vehicle. While transporting a contraband Russian time machine and developmental weaponry from Trenton Arsenal in New Jersey to the Experimental Weapons Battalion in Denver, Colorado, Dumphee finds himself cast into new settings when the device suddenly activates. What follows are fantastic high-tech experiences that might be called the "ultimate off-road adventure." For the determined Dumphee-narrowly escaping with his life and three beautiful women-it is not necessarily a matter of will he make it to his destination, but when. These four vivid characters trek through this fun and fast-moving journey like there's no tomorrow. Whenever that may be.

Lafayette Ronald Hubbard With 19 New York Times bestsellers and more than 350 million copies of his works in circulation, L. Ron Hubbard is among the most enduring and widely read authors of our time. As a leading light of American Pulp Fiction through the 1930s and '40s, he is further among the most influential authors of the modern age. Indeed, from Ray Bradbury to Stephen King, there is scarcely a master of imaginative tales who has not paid tribute to L. Ron Hubbard. Then too, of course, there is all L. Ron Hubbard represents as the Founder of Dianetics and Scientology and thus the only major religion born in the 20th century. While, as such, he presents the culmination of science and spiritual technology as embodied in the religion of Scientology. For an in-depth look at his life, visit www.LRonHubbard.org
