Looking for an Old Sci Fi Book

[skywize]

I'm looking for an Old book I read about 20 Years ago.<br /><br />It was a book about an Interstellar Highway that connected worlds it was made by an Alien Race there was Big Futiristic Trucks and the Like and the Only Rule of the Road was Don't stop on the Road or a Alien craft or cleaner would come along and sweep them off the Highway. I remember Big Rig and a LIttle Red sports type Car.

Star Rigger. <br /><br />John DeChancie. Had two sequels. Red Limit Freeway and ..... cannot remember the other. The first one was really cool. <br /><br />The "little red car" was a 57 chevy. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><strong><font color="#ff0000">Vote </font><font color="#3366ff">Libertarian</font></strong></p> </div>

Actually, I'm trying to remember a book I read years ago by a famous sci-fi writer about his real experiences infiltrating a lower-east-side gang in the 1950s. I can't remember the name of the book or the author.

I definitely haven't read that book but Harlan Ellison comes to mind from your description alone. Don't know if he was writing that early... <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font size="2" color="#339966"> I wish I could remember<br /> But my selective memory<br /> Won't let me</font><font size="2" color="#99cc00"> </font><font size="3" color="#339966"><font size="2">- </font></font><font size="1" color="#339966">Mark Oliver Everett</font></p><p> </p> </div>

Yes, that was Elison. I forget the title however.

Might have been "Punky & the Yale Men".

It's weird isn't it that a description of a book I've never read can evoke a strong sense of who wrote it, just from the description! <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font size="2" color="#339966"> I wish I could remember<br /> But my selective memory<br /> Won't let me</font><font size="2" color="#99cc00"> </font><font size="3" color="#339966"><font size="2">- </font></font><font size="1" color="#339966">Mark Oliver Everett</font></p><p> </p> </div>

Hey maybe someone might help me aswell. I've been looking forever for this story I read whilst in school. I read it in Swedish, but it might be a translation. Here goes:<br />The story begins on earth, just as families are packing their things to escape the dying earth. The spaceships breaks up and sets course for various believed to be habitable planets. The ship you get to follow ends up on a strange planet, with crystal-like grass, strange trees you only can chop down by heating the base of and most strange of all, some kind of moth like men that come to the lake which the colonists camp is situated. I would hope that someone could help me finding the name of this story for me, it would be much appreciated <img src="/images/icons/laugh.gif" /><br />/Z
