The Big Race

Our pal Michael Brick delivers a Kindle Single. Buy it.

When a mysterious military vet lures hundreds of bikers on a ludicrously dangerous transcontinental motorcycle ride, he draws in a Sioux shaman, a British financier and a Hollywood auteur with helicopters and private jets.

But Big Jim has a far more ambitious agenda. And it will take them all to a reckoning with the heart of America.

In this rollicking true story, Michael Brick chases the Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge from Arizona to the Pine Ridge Reservation, with a brief interlude in Las Vegas.
