The Railrunner Audiobook by Jacob GreenPaperback, Hardback and Kindle | https://www.amazon.com/Railrunner-Jacob-Green-ebook/dp/B0F9TYZDB4When Jacob, a struggling motorcycle mechanic from Reno, marries into a quiet, working-class family, he believes he’s finally left the chaos behind. But everything changes when he discovers the truth about his wife’s grandfather, Harry— a man long believed to be a railroad contractor, but who is in fact a legendary hitman in a secretive organization that uses the railroad as both cover and code.Drawn into a world of buried names and hollow railroad ties, Jacob is forced to make a choice: Stay in the life of a struggling mechanic, familiar and comfortable, or take up Harry’s mantle in a deadly lineage that spans generations. With every milepost and job, Jacob learns the true meaning of loyalty, silence, and control — and just how far his predecessors went to preserve the order they were sworn to protect.But as Jacob rises in the ranks of the hidden network known only to its members as The Genesee Corporation, old sins and new suspicions begin to surface. There are whispers of betrayal. Shifts in power. And not every name driven into the tie belongs to a stranger.The Railrunner is a brutal, intimate exploration of legacy, violence, and the price of redemption, set against the rusted rail lines and desert highways of the American West.About the authorJacob Green is a millennial author and railroad contractor whose life on the tracks inspired his debut novel, The Railrunner. Raised in the American West and shaped by its grit, Jacob brings a working-class authenticity to his storytelling—where silence, loyalty, and violence ride the rails together. When he’s not writing, he’s leading his motorcycle club, raising his kids, and exploring the backroads of Nevada in search of the next story.
