The Last
Delivery Driver
Adrian Kuldell runs a fleet of ten vehicles in a world that doesn't need him anymore. A human driver. One of the last.
Episode 1: Broken Fences
A dying breed in a newly formed country
Post-civil war, the United States has fractured into four nations. Adrian Kuldell—a NAVO, a non-automated vehicle operator—runs his family's delivery fleet out of Houston, Texas with the help of his AI, Chip.
Business is declining. The fleet is aging. And somewhere beneath it all, a bigger question: what actually happened to his parents?
14 chapters spanning 20 years. Available now on Amazon Kindle, paperback, and hardcover.
NAVO Fleet
Adrian's Garage
To classify as a NAVO, Adrian must maintain a fleet of 10 vehicles. Each one electric, each one named. From a 202-mph speeder to a hot tub on wheels — it's an independent operation in a largely corporatized world.
