    The wicked and mischievous traveler known only as The Author returns, and he's chosen a new victim.

    13-year-old Justin Sheridan races off-road buggies for sport, until he finds himself racing for his life!

    Justin can't believe his dad's nerve. The man hadn't even bothered to come home for Christmas, and now tonight, the night before New Year's Eve, is the first time Justin has seen his father in over a week. But what's he doing shiftily creeping around in the dark behind their house? Justin thinks the man is trying to avoid him so he can sneak back to work. He soon learns how wrong he is, when the monster that is hunting his father finds a new target. Justin.
