Synopsis

It was just a boring drive through the Nevada desert...until the Sonderberg family picked up a beautiful young hitchhiker named Mouse and found themselves on a wild, careening ride down the exit ramp to Hell. It seems the entire universe is doomed unless Mouse, a transdimensional alien, can find and heal the dying cosmic Spinner who controls the very fabric of reality. Suddenly attacked by a demonic gas station attendant, axe-wielding rats and fire-breathing cops, the Sondberg family must become warriors in a now-mystical motor home and battle pangalactic diners, weird worlds, impossible voids, and brain-bending realms of madness. They're driving into a fantastic nightmare to save all creation at the Vanishing Point on the Cosmic Road...which happens to be U.S. Interstate 40!

This is one of Foster's better books. The Sonderberg family is driving to Las Vegas in a rented motor home, rather than flying. Frank thought it might be an educational drive for his two children. It certainly turned out to be that.... Frank picks up a beautiful but enigmatic woman, hitchhiking in th......more

Goodreads review by J. Aleksandr on July 30, 2017

A reader's experience can benefit greatly from a book that makes modest promises and exceeds them. I much prefer this approach to that taken by most bestsellers, particularly almost everything that can be found, say, on the shelf of an airport bookstore for 150% of normal retail.
