Blurb: “THE BIG LIFTERS

Lots of people want to kill John Wesley Peel, but then lots of people always want to kill a man with power.

Peel's got his finger on all the new trends in high-tech transportation. The trucking industry and the unions are ready to put contracts out on him, if the Middle Eastern terrorists don't get there first.

Peel's own people don't want to kill him-they just want to undercut him and go into their own even higher-tech business. Theywant to build a really big lifter.

Combining technological expertise with nonstop ad venture ánd romance for a realistic, exciting glimpse into the future of American technology: on the ground, in the air and in space!

An old-fashioned kind of science fiction tale, told in a way that makes it timeless."-Chicogo Sun-Times”
