About this audiobook
Fast Cars! Magic Mushrooms! Dynamite! Snipers! Ladyboys!This High Speed Rally Race Has It All!
Like Fight Club meets Cannonball Run, Chicken 65 is a hilarious collision of chaos and comedy, where laughter and insight run wild. Both rebellion and celebration, this racing tale of men off the map charts new ground!Rich Archer is a laptop nomad wrapping up a year in Thailand. Plans change when his visiting friend stumbles into Chicken 65, a secret road rally race running since the Vietnam War. Leaving Bangkok at dawn, drivers chase a chicken through Southeast Asia. Joining this mysterious brotherhood, the friends are thrown into a sprawling, lawless race for Chicken victory. On twisted roads of dynamite and double-crosses, they learn that winning The Bird might mean losing their mind. Too late to quit, too fast to stop, both men head farther off the map and deeper into Chicken 65.

“A scathingly humorous look at the MTV generation… Gallagher’s writing is a modern art all its own.” New York Post
