Mojave Winds Overview
He returns to his country, his hollowed out soul gnawing away at him, until love floats in on Mojave Winds.
A Mid-Western kid ships off to serve his country--four years later--Kris Klug comes back a man looking for a job. He counts on his Uncle Fred as a bridge back to the civilian world. He yearns for simple, peaceful living.
After meeting up with his Uncle Fred for a job in his trucking outfit hauling goods between Los Angeles and Las Vegas, Klug discovers an underworld where thugs and cokeheads snare him and dump him in the Mojave.
With gangsters at his heels, Klug sinks into his darkest hour. Love comes his way when he least expects to survive. Mojave Winds carry the devil’s breath and maybe, just maybe, an angel’s mercy.
Mojave Winds
, a novel by Mark Biskeborn
The sweaty hands, the memories, the emotional numbness, flashbacks, nightmares. Kris Klug struggles to forget. He denies his training to use stealth, quick and lethal response, vigilance. All he wants is to find a normal, peaceful life again where he can leave the war in his past.
He wants to believe the claim that 'by fighting them over there, we don't have to fight them here.'
Kris Klug, a dishonorably discharged Green Beret, returns home. In need of a job, he relies on Uncle Fred as one of his only remaining family.
Uncle Fred built Empire Trucking, hauling goods between Los Angeles and Las Vegas. Over sixty years old now, Fred is eager to retire and pass his legitimate trucking company over to his nephew.
FBI Agent Jaeger informs Klug that his uncle may be trafficking drugs on the side and that a gang of thugs may be his suppliers. Fred vanishes.
Unaware that Fred disappeared, Klug takes a bus with 12 other passengers. Just as Klug begins an enchanting discussion with Sheila, a classical dancer working in Vegas, a drug gang hijacks the bus in the Mojave Desert. Can Klug save the passengers and redeem his dignity?

“ Biskeborn has imagination, toughness, color and in-your-face relevance-- all the ingredients for a rousing yarn."

" Mark Biskeborn has taken this route with an Iraq vet in his new novel, Mojave Winds, which, marketed as a thriller, is garnering attention. Though doing Iraq vets justice, instead of using them as characters just because they're current and convenient, requires a different type of thriller -- one serious about character development. Of necessity, this intrudes on the non-stop action and displays of technical know-how common to the genre."
