About This Book

The story follows a team of high-speed highway patrol officers who return to their barracks and ready an advanced semiarmored patrol vehicle for long tours on a continent-spanning thruway. Interactions among the seasoned sergeant, his younger partner, and their medical officer reveal routines, off-duty tastes, and the claustrophobic camaraderie developed during extended patrols. Scenes alternate between domestic detail and technical depictions of futuristic traffic control, vehicle refits, and dispatch operations, while broader themes explore automation, the demands of constant surveillance on human relationships, and the logistical challenges of policing a tightly regulated, high-velocity road network.
