More than what is on the main page

What I have not said publicly

"Some loads you don't talk about. Some roads you don't take twice."

The crew is rebuilding. Bret is healing slower than he wants to admit. Rebecca is staying, and she is not leaving the office to anyone else. Katie holds the pen the way her mother used to. A new man named James shows up at the gate carrying things he has not told us about yet.

Then Colonel Merritt calls.

Two F-35 aircraft. Miramar to Volk Field, Wisconsin. Quiet middle ground. Maintenance and training.

But on a screen three time zones away, two men in plain clothes are watching the convoy roll out. Four trucks. Four dots. That is what their intelligence said. That is what they planned for.

When the count comes back five, somebody on their end picks up a phone.

— From the final chapter of Book Two

★ BOOK ONE ENDORSEMENT ★
"A deftly crafted novel by veteran truck driver J. R. Elrod, Frozen Freight: Iron Reach is a riveting and detailed story of the endurance, the loyalty, the skill, and the grit it takes to keep the wheels turning when everything freezes over. An unreservedly recommended pick."
