Posted on Monday, February 10th, 2020

Roger Zelazny‘s classic DAMNATION ALLEY is now available in Poland as an audiobook! Published by Storytel as ALEJA POTĘPIENIA, here’s the synopsis…

Stany Zjednoczone, zniszczone po wojnie nuklearnej. Pozostali przy życiu ludzie skupiają się w małych enklawach. Tanner, brutalny człowiek gangu motocyklowego, otrzymuje szansę odkupienia swoich zbrodni. Ma dostarczyć leki z Los Angeles do leżącego na wschodnim wybrzeżu Bostonu. Jest to jednak misja niemalże samobójcza, bo musi pokonać radioaktywną pustynię, nękaną huraganami i burzami ognistymi, zamieszkaną przez mutanty i potwory.

A classic dystopian novel, DAMNATION ALLEY was first published in 1968. Here’s the English-language synopsis…

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…

A print edition of the novel is also available in Poland, published by Dom Wydawniczy Rebis.
