The Lost Traveller
by Steve Wilson"Steve Wilson's THE LOST TRAVELLER is, among other things, the most promising first science fiction novel to come along in several years. It is unquestionably the best, most mature, most honest, fairest, and most wise piece of fiction ever written about the Hell's Angels in particular and the outlaw biker consciousness in general. As up-front about Angel violence and sex as S. Clay Wilson, and deeper into the Angel virtues than anything save the biker films of Richard Rush, THE LOST TRAVELLER captures the essence of the biker soul -- clear-eyed, regretful, but with love. And takes it into the realms of American Indian mysticism with a feeling and clarity that makes Carlos Castenada seem like a Boy Scout going for his peyote merit badge. True science fiction in the highest sense alien sensibilities rendered with conviction in their own terms, thereby expanding the reader's sense of the humanly possible. Not for anyone who thinks THE WILD ONE and DAMNATION ALLEY are heavy stuff." Norman Spinrad
