A FAMILY CONVOY HEADS TOWARD CANADA AND SANCTUARY, BUT DESPERATE TOWNSPEOPLE AND RELENTLESS MERCENARIES BLOCK THE WAY.

A fragile but committed patriarch leads twenty followers and their priceless vaccines out of plague-ravaged California ahead of mercenary-led bikers. Despite the group’s peaceful intentions, desperate Covid-20 survivors target them and trigger needless violence. New romances spark while longstanding relationships crumble in the pressure cooker environment. In theory, the family can save many lives, but not if they’re liable to be taken hostage. Delays incurred to share vaccine knowhow leave the convoy vulnerable. Tensions boil over as the pacifist and militant factions square off.

The marauders channel their maniacal fury into waging a war of annihilation even as the convoy lurches toward Canada and the hope of new lives. In Idaho’s panhandle, the mercenaries use kidnapped children to bait their trap.

Hard Road’s bloody climax will have fans of nonstop action thrillers, domestic thrillers and family sagas on the edges of their seats for the second book in the Dark Plague series.

Note: Hard Road reads well as a standalone book, but the prologue contains major Dark Cure spoilers.
