Damnation Alley by Roger Zelazny

Damnation Alley...the savage route across a blasted continent, teeming with deadly radiation and insanely lethal storms...the basis for the classic science fiction film. Hell Tanner isn't the sort of guy you'd mistake for a hero: he's a fast-driving car thief, a smuggler, and a stone-cold killer. He's also expendable - at least in the eyes of the Secretary of Traffic for the Nation of California. Tanner doesn't care much for those eyes. You'd also never mistake Hell Tanner for a humanitarian. Facing life in prison for his various crimes, he's given a choice; rot away his remaining years in a tiny jail cell, or drive cross-country and deliver a case of antiserum to the plague-ridden people of Boston, Massachusetts...if anyone is still alive there to receive it, that is. The chance of a full pardon does wonders for getting his attention. And don't mistake this mission of mercy for any kind of normal road trip-not when there are radioactive storms, hordes of carniverous beasts, and giant, mutated scorpions to be found along every deadly mile between Los Angeles and the East Coast. But then, this is no normal part of America, you see. This is Damnation Alley...
Zelazny wrote many novels, short stories, and novellas, including Nebula and Hugo Award winners "24 VIEWS OF MOUNT FUJI, BY HOKUSAT", "PERMAFROST" and "HOME IS THE HANGMAN".
