In this, the Further Adventures Along the Road Without End, we fast forward from where the story left off in 1983, to Vancouver, BC, in 1988. Warren Givens has completed his second jail sentence four years previous, after which he’s vowed to lay low and stay clean so there’s no return to “Clown-College,” as he calls it.
A chance meeting at a pub one night introduces us to Daryl Kellerman, at first as Givens’ one night stand, which quickly develops into a love and live-in relationship between them.
Warren’s distant past comes front-and-centre in the form of his birth mother, who lost him to Social Services before he was ten years old, and has been looking for him ever since.
We get to know Warren’s past and what’s made him the way he is.
This, along with some other drastic life changing occurrences, propel Warren into a life he never thought he would live.
Later, we get to know what life was like living with Givens through Daryl’s eyes as he reminisces over the years since their initial meeting.
Last Chance Town is the third book in the Road Without End Trilogy.

Excerpt
“The light from it was so bright It woke me up. Ya shoulda seen it! I looked out the windah, and all I seen were these four real bright lights, slowly comin’ down from the sky and landin’ behind that grove of trees over there.” He pointed at small grove of palm trees, and a small field beyond it.
“Theys demons,” he said emphatically. “Demons I tells ya. They ain’t mentioned in the Bible, so theys up ta no good!”
“When you saw it land, what did you do?” I asked him.
“I jes’ stared at it for a while cuz I wasn’t sure what to do. Then I sees this white light bein’ shone from that flyin’ machine to a spot not too far away. Then it goes out, and I ain’t sure what’s goin’ on. All of a sudden I sees something comin’ towards my place. Looked like three little people.”
“Wow! What did you do then?”
“Well by this time I’m pissed off cuz I don’t want no one comin’ onta my land.”
“So, what did you do?”
“I grabbed my rifle, put on my boots and ran buck-assed naked out the door towards them, yellin’ my fool head off and firing off a few rounds while I was goin’!”
I saw clearly in my mind, what that must have looked like, and chuckled.
“Oh, yeah? Y’think it’s funny, d’ya?” he asked half seriously.
“You running naked outside yellin’ like an animal, and firing a rifle? Yeah, that’s funny!”
He looked at me and a smirk cut across his face then he chuckled as well.
“Yeah, I s’pose it is.”
