The Long Haul

Runner's Legend, Book 1

By: R Wayne Jones

Narrated by: Jay Bridges

Move the cargo. Get paid. Live to survive another day.

Geller Briggs isn't just a courier. He's a Runner, a lifeline holding society together. With water, food, and gas in high demand, someone must brave the Wastes to transport much-needed supplies between city-states.

He's never had a problem dodging bloodthirsty mutants, opportunistic scavs, or crooked middlemen. No matter the risk, he always gets the job done...until someone discovers a secret he'd rather keep buried.

Blackmailed into moving a mysterious package, Briggs is just happy to be on the road again. But this unexpected cargo makes him a smuggler, with lethal consequences if the city-states catch on. At least he'll be set for life if he pulls it off.

That's a big if. The Wastes always win in the end.

But if anyone can get this done, it’s him.

A man on a journey of self

This is a great book and a great performance. The narration is done well and never grated on my nerves. the voices were each distinct and I didn't get characters mixed up. The world and setting are immensely interesting and the mechanics of the long haul are fascinating. The writer pays striking attention to detail and doesn't leave many loose ends. Action scenes are well written and and the people in the story feel real. overall a great post apocalyptic read. Would definitely recommend!!
