Racing to Disaster
A HIGH-SPEED, HIGH-STAKES CHASE PUTS FRANK AND JOE ON A DEADLY DOWNHILL COURSE!
America’s top mountain-bikers have come to Southern California for the annual Wolf Mountain Annihilator competition, and Joe Hardy has just made the cut. But he and Frank quickly learn that the rivalries in the race are cutthroat. Someone is determined to come out on top -- no matter who gets annihilated along the way!
The race is on, and the Hardys are in gear for action, kicking up plenty of dirt and danger. In a wild ride to the finish line, Frank and Joe take on gunfire and brush fires, rock slides and water rapids. They're hot in pursuit of the mountain-bike saboteur, speeding down a treacherous trail in which every curve is a killer!

About the author
Franklin W. Dixon
957 books1,018 followersFranklin W. Dixon is the pen name used by a variety of different authors who were part of a team that wrote The Hardy Boys novels for the Stratemeyer Syndicate (now owned by Simon & Schuster). Dixon was also the writer attributed for the Ted Scott Flying Stories series, published by Grosset & Dunlap.
Canadian author Leslie McFarlane is believed to have written the first sixteen Hardy Boys books, but worked to a detailed plot and character outline for each story. The outlines are believed to have originated with Edward Stratemeyer, with later books outlined by his daughters Edna C. Squier and Harriet Stratemeyer Adams. Edward and Harriet also edited all books in the series through the mid-1960s. Other writers of the original books include MacFarlane's wife Amy, John Button, Andrew E. Svenson, and Adams herself; most of the outlines were done by Adams and Svenson. A number of other writers and editors were recruited to revise the outlines and update the texts in line with a more modern sensibility, starting in the late 1950s.
The principal author for the Ted Scott books was John W. Duffield.

It's just a mountain bike race. That's all it is. That's it. Whole story. Yawn.
