Truck (novel)

Truck is a 1988 novel by author Brendan M. Leonard, and the fifth in a series of 17 novels about sniper Jack Truck. The book is being developed as a reboot of the Sniper Truck film series, with an aim to keeping the tone more in line with the books.

Synopsis
When James Armor's daughter is kidnapped, Jack Truck must confront the darkest places of his soul as he descends into the seedy world of pornography and prostitution, traveling from Vegas to the Valley to the halls of power in Salt Lake City.

History
This book marks the first appearance of Armor in the book series; he was a character previously created by Leonard for the film series. In a nod to actor Kimbo Slice, Armor's backstory includes his expertise as a knife-fighter and bare-knuckle brawler.

This book is the final appearance of Barney Fate, now completely corrupt and monstrous. Fate is murdered by Jack in the novel's final pages; Jack's cold-blooded decision would haunt him for years to come.
