Sentence Description (200 characters, including spaces)

In this gripping thriller, a television news courier and Vietnam veteran escapes his nightmares by pushing his motorcycle to the limit–but is it fast enough to escape the death squad on his tail?

Short Description (2,000 characters, including spaces)

In his daily rounds as a Washington motorcycle courier, Vietnam veteran Rick Putnam has found that the only way to blast the demons from his soul is with the sheer speed of his beloved BMW. However, the race turns very real when he suddenly becomes the target in a lethal pursuit and Rick must find out just who is trying to kill him—and why. Courier is the high-velocity thriller by long-time

Washington journalist Terry Irving that slashes through the darkness at the heart of our nation’s capital. It’s a fast-paced, finely crafted foray into high-level intrigue, political corruption, and the invisible wounds of war that will keep readers hanging on as the danger threatens to spin out of control.

The year is 1972 in Washington, DC, a hotbed of government secrets and fractured souls, with the Watergate Scandal heating up and the Vietnam War slowing down. One day during his courier gig, Rick unknowingly picks up a roll of news film that proves the President took money from the South Vietnamese to prolong the war. This is High Treason: a transgression that would mean not only impeachment and conviction but lifelong disgrace. A rogue CIA agent backed by a Korean assassin and two Saigon cowboys is sent to recover the film and silence Rick - permanently. Rick fights back with the assistance of some of the world’s first computer hackers, two brave congressional staffers, and a motorcycle gang leader who fought by his side in Vietnam’s toughest battle. In the middle of it all, Rick falls in love with a Native American law student who may just be able to bring some peace to his tortured soul.

With its white-knuckle pace and absorbing intrigue, Courier is a heart-pumping, riveting read full of high menace, hot motorcycles, and Washington’s own brand of mayhem – the kind you never read about on the front page. It’s a must for anyone who likes their thrillers real and their motorcycles very, very fast.

Review by Loriann Murray

2 Scribbles & Sensibility

1 "I don’t normally read thrillers, but I thoroughly enjoyed this one and I know you will, too. It’s quite the ride! "

Dec30

I had the privilege of reading Terry Irving’s latest work, Courier. This is a fast-paced, nail-biting thriller combining intrigue, suspense, a bit of romance, and mostly, edge-of-your-seat action.

Rick Putnam, the story’s protagonist, finds himself unwittingly smack dab in the midst of one of the biggest potential political scandals of the era. It’s 1972, and Rick, an emotionally wounded Vietnam vet is a motorcycle courier for a news agency in Washington, DC. Doing his job as usual, he suddenly finds himself in possession of a reel of film which exposes Nixon’s acceptance of bribes in the form of campaign contributions by the South Vietnamese in order to extend the war for their benefit. This footage is so explosive, so volatile, those who want to see it buried will stop at nothing to quash it, regardless of who is expended in the meanwhile. Naturally, Rick is the primary target.

Rick is an interesting guy– he’s a man’s man, but utterly vulnerable and tortured by visions of horror suffered in the war. To attempt to dull these memories which haunt him nightly, he rides his BMW motorcycle to its limits on a daily basis– by riding hard, fast, and a bit maniacal at times, his mind can push the memories away for a just a bit. If you’ve ever ridden a bike or even been a passenger, the action-packed descriptions of Rick’s many hair-raising, adrenaline pumping rides will take you right back to being on that seat. I am a former rider myself and I was instantly transported back to that feeling of tremendous power between my knees and feeling my hand twist the throttle just a little bit more- pushing my personal limits to balance the fear with the utter exhilaration I felt.

There’s even a sweet romance – Rick, who normally is quite emotionally closed off, finds himself captivated by a strong-willed Native American law student who is able to access those parts of him he thought he had shut forever. It shows Rick to be incredibly human and brings to light so many issues we know vets continue to suffer to this day.

Mr. Irving based the book on his own experiences as a motorcycle courier during the same time. He describes Rick as “far more daring and much better looking than I ever was”; although I have to wonder if he’s being too modest. Only personal experience could have allowed the descriptions of that type of amazing motorcycle riding. Additionally, the descriptions of the news production process during the 70s, when Mr. Irving himself was right in the middle of that business, was fascinating. He describes the process of film editing and that sense of constant urgency in the newsroom. Since most of his life after being a courier was spent in the news production environment, you can feel the reality of the scenes through his descriptions which can only be gleaned by being there. One gets a hint at what life in Washington was really like during that heady time.

I don’t want to give away any secrets– suffice it to say the twists in the story will have you gasping in surprise and chewing at your nails. I don’t normally read thrillers, but I thoroughly enjoyed this one and I know you will, too. It’s quite the ride!

In "Courier," Terry Irving has a page-turner of a first novel. I picked it up -- in draft form, on a tablet, yet -- and couldn't put it down. Buy it, and start reading early enough in the day that you don't stay up all night finishing it.

-- Martin Heller

"The year is 1972. The place, Washington, D.C.- the very heart of a nation bruised by war and political scandal. Bearing more than a few scars of his own, motorcycle courier and Vietnam vet Rick Putnam struggles leave his past behind and re-enter society. On his bike, he surges through the city streets making pick-ups and deliveries, weaving between traffic and darting through alleys, perpetually blurring the line between riding mastery and suicidal tendency. It is the only time, day or night, that he feels the scars of the past dissolve away. But after one seemingly routine pick-up, Rick finds himself in the possession of evidence that could forever change both the history and the future of the U.S. government. In his debut thriller, Irving masterfully re-creates early 1970's Washington, and then proceeds to race the reader through his world at breakneck speed. True to its title, Courier delivers!"

Frustrated. 

In a word, that’s pretty much how I felt reading Terry Irving’s new book “Courier”. More on that in a minute. First, in the interest of full disclosure, I should mention that although I have never met Terry Irving, I have worked with him on different projects, and received a free copy of his book to review.

“Courier” is a compelling story of intrigue set in 1970’s Washington, D.C. during the middle of the Viet Nam war and Watergate scandal era. Rick Putnam is a former Viet Nam veteran turned motorcycle courier, struggling to do his job and maintain his sanity while trying to forget the horrors of his past. In the course of his job, Putnam stumbles into a cover up so massive that it threatens to bring down the President. 

As the story progresses, seemingly unrelated characters and events begin to coalesce into a massive plot that seems unstoppable. A predictable story? Hardly. Do the main characters make it alive to the end of the book? No spoiler alert here – that would be telling.

So back to my initial comment. 

Frustrated? You bet. 

Frustrated that at 2 am I really wanted to put the book down and go to sleep, but couldn’t, because there really was no good stopping place. Frustrated that a book this great may not receive the national exposure that it deserves. Frustrated that this author may never be as well-known as best-selling (but no more talented) authors as Crichton, Clancy, Ludlum, or a host of others. And finally, frustrated that I was coming to the end of the book, but didn’t want it to end. Yep, frustrated.  And I can’t wait for Irving’s next book to come out so that I can be frustrated again.

We were incredibly lucky in that he was willing to score our documentary "Rescue in the Philippines: Refuge from the Holocaust.")

Music By John Keltonic[pic]

Terry Irving knows how to write a story so fast moving and gripping that the reader can't stop. His first novel Courier is first of all a chase story featuring motorcycle rider Rick Putnam who repeatedly escapes the bad guys on a big bruising BMW or a sleek fast Kawasaki. But Courier is much more than that.

Irving recreates Washington D.C. in late 1972 when American B-52s were bombing Hanoi, the peace process to end the Vietnam War seemed stuck, and a robbery at a Washington D.C. apartment complex called the Watergate was something that no one seemed to care much about.

When Rick Putnam picks up film from a TV crew that has just interviewed someone with information potentially damaging to the newly-re-elected President Richard Nixon, an agent who is never named is sent to kill the story by getting the film back and when that doesn't work tries to kill Putnam and anyone around him.

Irving is masterful in depicting the atmosphere of a TV news operation at that time, something he experienced working at ABC News in the 1970s. He captures the excitement and the technical problems of producing news as the background to the chase that is the major plot of the book.

In Rick Putnam Irving portrays a man who served in Vietnam, was wounded in combat, and is troubled by nightmares that bring him back to those horrors.  Putnam isn’t a demonstrator; he’s someone who believes the U.S. government betrayed its soldiers. 

On the evidence of Courier, Terry Irving has many more novels in him. He can mine the 1970s, the Washington D.C. location, and the news production setting for a number of stories. I hope he brings back Rick Putnam who is a young guy with possibly more adventures in him.
