When Croix returns to Revival with salvation on his mind, his hopes are dashed by another devastating twist of fate. Now he’s on a perilous journey with Levi and Kid, traveling through Reaper territory to save his unborn child - who has become fatally ill in Zee’s womb - and his only hope for a cure lies in the walled-off Republic of Phoenix, where all hell continues to break loose and Lucian Vanderbon and the Nimbus Corporation are looking for someone to blame.
This puts Croix in the crosshairs of the "golden boy" Brixton Grace, who is now a suspect in the refugee case and is desperate to clear his name with Corporate, even if it means going rogue and breaking a few of the laws that he once enforced on their behalf.
As Croix and Brixton become bitter enemies, they fall deeper into a deadly conspiracy of murder and deception, rousing the ghost of Billy Dagger in the process and digging up all the dangers of the past that were buried with the mythical hero long ago, including his legendary truck - the Moon Runner - which has once again become a symbol of defiance.
Now with a sadistic Captain Vedder on the hunt, and with Nile running a secret investigation behind Brixton’s back, the stakes are even higher, the secrets are much darker, and the truth is far more elusive. As loyalties shift and lies are told, only two things become clear: everyone is hiding something, and nothing is what it seems.
Part heist thriller. Part Mystery. Part western Allegory. Mojave Run is brash and unwavering, with dark merciless prose, blunt humor, and a startling palpability that hits without warning, like "a sucker punch from God"
