Marathon of Madness — Christopher Woods

Jake Turner worked the road crews of the lawless lands...That was until he became the sole survivor of three separate raider attacks and was blacklisted by his employer, the Tennessee Titan Authority. When the company's probability programs red flagged him as a raider, he was done in Tennessee.His only choice was to go home to Tazewell, where he learns that the woman who broke his heart left him because she had a degenerative disease. But if those five long years on the road crews taught him anything, it was that Gold Cross and their cloning ability could save her.Unfortunately, the only way to afford it involved winning a race, and not just any race. It was the Dead Man's Run; a cross-country road rally with every raider and savage in the lawless lands determined to kill them. But after his time on the road crews, he knew this wasn't going to be just any race, it was going to be a Marathon of Madness!
