Description

Five inseparable boys from the small town of Garland have turned their shared passion for motorcycles into a daring band known as the Big Five. When a wealthy benefactor asks them to deliver an important errand across the Atlantic, the friends—Rod, Elmer, Henry, Josh and Christopher—set off for war‑torn Europe, trading their quiet streets for the smoky docks of Antwerp. Their departure is a mix of excitement and uneasy goodbyes, as each young rider balances personal worries with a fierce loyalty to one another.

Arriving in Belgium amid a sea of refugees, the boys quickly discover that the front lines are far more chaotic than any road they’ve ever ridden. Dodging artillery fire and navigating a landscape scarred by invasion, they rely on their quick wits, daring teamwork, and the roar of their machines to stay one step ahead. As they push toward their mysterious mission, the adventure tests both their courage and the bonds that have kept the group together since childhood.

About the author

RM

Ralph Marlow

Best known for a fast-paced early 20th-century adventure series about young riders, this author wrote stories that mixed motorcycles, danger, and wartime excitement for younger readers. Very little biographical information seems to survive, which adds a bit of mystery to the name behind the books.
