Roll On, the first book from author Fred Afflerbach, takes readers on an interstate journey with a long-haul trucker. Ubi Sunt is addicted to his life on the road and, if he had his way, he’d continue driving until he no longer could. But forces in his life are threatening to take away Ubi’s driving life. To begin with, Ubi’s daughter has offered him an ultimatum – to have a role in his grandchildren’s lives, he must settle down and drive local. In addition, the company where Ubi has worked for thirty years is being bought out by investors who want to change the system. Not to mention the wave of brash, young drivers who don’t understand Ubi’s “code of the road.” Will Ubi be pushed out of his life as trucker, or will he push on despite the obstacles?
