"Author Rob Hart said it perfectly when he called Blacktop Wasteland “the literary equivalent of a muscle car—sleek, a little dangerous, and when it kicks into gear, you hold on for dear life.” This novel is the story of Beauregard ‘Bug’ Montage—an honest mechanic, loving husband, and hard-working dad. He’s also a former getaway driver with a past. As Bug’s carefully-crafted new life begins to crumble, he finds himself drawn back into the world he thought he’d left behind. Let’s just talk a moment about S.A. Cosby’s incredible voice and unforgettable characters. Don’t tell me for a moment Bug—or any of the other characters who grace these pages—are not real people. I refuse to believe it. They are too multi-dimensional, too flawed, sympathetic, and too perfectly human. And then there’s the story: gritty, dynamic noir by an author in complete command of his craft. As an author, I read mastery like this with equal parts awe and envy."
