OUTLAW BIKER: THE RUSSIAN CONNECTION

02 Apr 2011

Details: Category: Books & Authors; Written by The Regina Leader-Post; Hits: 746

OUTLAW BIKER: THE RUSSIAN CONNECTION Jerry Langton Wiley, 239 pages, $24.95

There have been superior crime novels, in which the protagonist is a charismatic bad guy.

One thinks of the relentless Parker, memorable anti-hero of the series of thrillers written by the late Donald Westlake under his Richard Stark pseudonym. Or any number of wittily subversive novels by the indestructible Elmore Leonard. Or the stunning achievement of Patricia Highsmith in creating the sociopathic Tom Ripley, a murderer so alluring, we have trouble not rooting for him.

Unfortunately, we can't say the same for Ned Aiken, the central figure in Canadian crime journalist Jerry Langton's latest novel, Outlaw Biker. His most compelling trait seems to be his consummate stupidity -although one suspects this is not what his creator intended.

The book is a sequel to Langton's novel, Biker, which introduced us to Ned and the world of motorcycle gangs. Now, having betrayed his old criminal colleagues to the FBI, he's buried in a witness-protection program that gives him a new identity and a boring existence as a mailroom employee in Delaware. Being the kind of guy he is, and that's no compliment, he yearns for the heady days of drug-dealing and easy money, so should we be so surprised that a couple of shady work colleagues talk him into taking to the road and making an obviously illegal "delivery" to some tough people in Detroit?

Jesse James reveals cover art for memoir 'American Outlaw'

29 Mar 2011

Details: Category: Books & Authors; Written by Fox News; Hits: 765

Jesse James has unveiled his memoir cover and it’s anything but subtle.

The television star, motorcycle expert and ex-husband of Sandra Bullock tells People magazine that he did not want to appear in “some variation of a bad prom photo, serious Thinker pose like most book jackets” for his memoir, “American Outlaw.”

So instead, he opted for an old Western look and a play on him sharing the same name with the famed 19^th-century criminal.

New Release Follows Couple’s Amazing Motorcycle Trip Around the Globe; Dog Ear Publishing Releases Book by Bill Berwick and Sharon Whitman

Details: Category: Books & Authors; Written by Press Releases dot Com; Hits: 492

Booneville, NC, March 06, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Two adventure seekers set off for the motorcycle ride of a lifetime, exploring more than 100,000 miles through 63 countries on 6 continents around the globe. Along the way, they encounter a charging elephant, near drowning, thieves, an active volcano and heatstroke. Energized by exploring the wonders of the world, their true adventure becomes discovering each other.

What Are the Chances?, published by Dog Ear Publishing, details the couple’s amazing adventures from their chance meeting at a motorcycle rally to their world travels June 2001 to July 2003. Nightly accommodations ranged from a tree house, a chalet, and a chair on a ferry deck, to a kennel, a raft, a gas station and a tent. The countries they visited included Chile, South Africa, Botswana, Turkey, Latvia, Cambodia, Thailand, New Zealand and Australia. From the Arctic Circle to Tierra del Fuego and from The Cape of Good Hope to Nordkapp, Norway they encountered men with machetes and rifles, breathtaking vistas, incredible mountain ranges, horrible roads and some of the friendliest, most helpful people imaginable.

Bill Berwick began riding motorcycles when he was 16, traveling to Alaska in 1973 on a Triumph Daytona. He owned a bicycle shop in Pennsylvania for 11 years. Sharon Whitman, a former third-grade teacher and business owner, bought her first motorcycle when she was 50 and traveled around the world one year later. Both she and Bill sold their belongings, homes and businesses to fund their trip. They currently live in North Carolina where they eagerly anticipate their next adventure.

New Winterhalder/De Clercq Book Now Available Worldwide

08 Feb 2011

Details: Category: Books & Authors; Written by Motorcycle Cruiser; Hits: 806

Biker Chicz of North America, the much-anticipated new book by Edward Winterhalder and Wil De Clercq, is now available where ever books are sold. This is Winterhalder and De Clercq’s third non-fiction collaboration since the publication of their best seller, The Assimilation: Rock Machine Become Bandidos, in 2008, which has been translated into French and German.

Like The Assimilation, Biker Chicz of North America revolves around the culture of motorcycles and motorcycle personalities. But that’s where the similarity ends. It is quite a departure from the authors’ first book, which chronicled the vicious Montreal biker wars from 1994 to 2002. Biker Chicz of North America features women whose stories are meant to empower other women, whether they ride a motorcycle, are thinking about riding one, or simply want to know more about the lifestyle.
