About this listen
Hapless Nate Hester yearns for the safety and affection of a group. He sets off on a hitchhiking trip to escape bad parenting and the Vietnam draft.
Nate soon longs to be off the road. A drug dealer befriends him and introduces him to the Hells Angels. The Angels introduce him to the wonders of drug use and free sex, but the effects wane, and Nate leaps from mania to depression.
He accidentally shoots and kills a man. Guilt and fear of arrest overtake Nate's thinking. Relief comes only from intoxication. He discovers heroin and plummets, narrowly escaping death, but is rescued from his addiction only to continue dealing drugs.

Good story but the ending was quite random, would be ok if there was part 2 but didn’t seem to find one

Cringe Worthy
Expecting something written by a member of a motorcycle club or at least a close associate, instead disappointed to read a fiction by someone with no relevant life experience.
The only thing worse than the out of school content was the narration that was irritating on a cellular level.
I'd be surprised if the author has approval to use the club's HA Death Head on the book cover.
I doubt the author has ever met a bikie, let alone ridden a Harley.
