The Last Rider
Ky Reinholdt is an average, if somewhat of a loner, seventeen-year-old in a small town in far west Texas. He's a klutz, with no friends, who works in his dad's diner and rebuilds things in a small shack out back when he's not blowing up the chem. lab at school (it was an accident!). Life is quiet and mostly peaceful until someone tries to kill him. From that day on, he's dragged into a world of secrets and war where everyone seems to know his name. To top it all off, a creepy man Ky meets in the school basement refuses to leave his side and doesn't know the meaning of personal space. Can Ky survive until his 18th birthday? And what happens then?
