Diesel Nuts
Diesel Nuts Benjamin E. Jenkins
William Williams grew up in racist rural Kentucky. He came to be known as "Diesel Nuts" to the locals. "Diesel" because of his love of diesel engines, and "Nuts" because of his psyche. Diesel wasn't clinically crazy. At least that's what the city doctors told his mother when the boy was young. He was just extremely aloof with a pesky stutter. Diesel got his smokey good looks from his deadbeat dad, but he got his motoring skills from his Uncle Jesse. Shunned and bullied as a kid, Diesel enlisted in the Army immediately after high school. While in the Army, he meets and falls in love with Malane Morrison, a beautiful African American officer. Returning home after the war, Diesel joins the local law enforcement as an Interceptor. In a time when gas prices have skyrocketed beyond the means of most, electric cop cars are no match for the delinquents' souped-up crotch rockets and backyard hotrods-modified to run hot and fast on illegal moonshine. The Interceptors are often the last resort to counter the rising crime.

Heart-stopping, and exciting, Diesel Nuts gives its readers a great time!
I couldn't put this book down, as the scenes and characters were incredibly compelling. This book by Benjamin Jenkins is relatively short. But with its less than a hundred pages, you’ll be engrossed in every twist and turn and become hopeful for a sequel.
Benjamin tells this story of Diesel Nuts in an unprecedented time and place. The world is in recession. One of the necessities that are heavily affected is gas prices. It becomes impossible to buy, thus, making it reserved for government vehicles. Robots have replaced many workers, and everything is in chaos. The future isn’t looking good for the State of Kentucky. Rising from the tumult is an ordinary kid with extraordinary skills in diesel. Thanks to his uncle Jesse who nurtured him and taught him a lot about engines. While working as an interceptor, Diesel’s job has become extremely challenging. He needs to face unforeseen dangers and ruthless people who have deep grudges against the government. As an interceptor in the ATOC with extreme skills, Diesel becomes the focal point of the enemies' nefarious plans.
The realistic approach of the author in recounting his main character’s tale has made Diesel all the more tangible and relatable to the readers. This deep sense of connection with the protagonist enamored me in the book as I felt like I was also going through what Diesel was going through.

The book "Diesel Nuts" was a delightful surprise, exceeding all my expectations. It follows a talented yet disabled young man and his friends as they navigate an entertaining and action-packed story. The plot revolves around a fierce conflict between criminals and law enforcement, with Paducah's ATOC at the center of it all. Despite Diesel's military training, not everyone in the town is happy with Diesel's presence on the force. Some of the locals view him as an outsider, and his relationship with Malane only adds to the tension. Diesel and Malane face discrimination and prejudice, both from the community and from some of their colleagues. In the end, Diesel proves himself to be a valuable member of the force and a respected member of the community. His determination and courage inspire those around him, and his love for Malane gives him the strength to overcome any obstacle.
The author's writing skills and passion for the story shine through, resulting in an engaging and thrilling read that kept me on the edge of my seat throughout. The action scenes were particularly well-done, making "Diesel Nuts" one of the best books I have read in this genre. I do not doubt that the book will be a great success, given the author's obvious talent and dedication to the craft.

One thing that I truly loved about this book is that the building of the plot is quite amazing. The most exciting part is that the twists and turns of the plot look very real and believable. This is because this book is backdropped by real knowledge of engines, vehicles, and technology.
Diesel's reputation as a tough but fair Interceptor quickly spreads among his colleagues and the criminals that he had been eyeing. Diesel is not one to shy away from a challenge. He persists in giving his job his all, even when faced with overwhelming odds. His military training and self-made rapport with his high-ranking officers made him valuable and the center of focus with the villains while his unique skill set despite his stuttering disability only adds fuel to the fire. In the end, Diesel proves his worth as both an officer and a member of the community, earning the respect of those who once saw him as an outsider. His determination and bravery inspire those around him.
But I’m not going to give any of the plot for it becomes a spoiler alert and may reveal key plot details or other information that could spoil other readers’ enjoyment. I’ll let the readers read and discover them for themselves and be enthralled by the good points this book has to offer.

While reading this compelling short book, I was blown away by its characters and conversations. The dialogues become alive as the author perfectly delivers one of the most intense police chase, high-speed vehicle race, unique romance, and engaging plot.
The theme of the novel fosters heavily important lessons: disabilities are not hindrances to success. The year is 2032, and Kentucky is not looking great. The economy had collapsed and robots had replaced workers. Gas prices is extremely high, and is impossible to buy. Rising from the tumult is a normal kid with extraordinary talent and skills for engines. His enlistment in the army helped him become more of the main character of the story. Diesel Nuts has a stuttering problem, and he becomes often the clown of the ATOC task force. However, a great twist made him the hero of the whole State of Kentucky.
This book does not promise a happy ending, but a good and engaging story with dynamic characters. With that, this becomes hard to put down. I never regretted reading it, the complexity of the story keeps you on the edge of your seat. I finished this book in one sitting. The author is undoubtedly a genius in this.

A youth born with talent, his gang, and a good entertaining short book, Diesel Nuts delivered beyond what I could have imagined.
In an intense clash between criminals and police, justice is yet to be served once more. Paducah’s Advanced Tactical Operations Center, or ATOC, is the state’s premier law enforcement nucleus but its full capabilities are shrouded in conspiracy. Diesel has worked with ATOC to catch criminals, and fix engines. However, as the conflict intensified, despite Diesel’s military training, he is no match for Sargent Chapo. The murder of anyone who gets in his way means nothing to him, mere collateral damage to his nefarious plan. Diesel and the rest of the team must need to trust their skills and teamwork to bring an end to this controversy.
Overall, the author delivers some of the best action-packed scenes that I have ever read, and I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. You could really tell that this book was written with skills, and passion and I’m sure it will pay off very well.

If you are looking for a book that has the ability to ignite your excitement and tear your heart apart, then look no further. Right from the beginning, the first chapters draw me immediately into the main conflict and characters of the story. The author has depicted such a perfectly insane, ruthless villain and matched it with a very dynamic, born-with-disability but a talented main character named Diesel Nuts. The contrast between these two main players of the book is one of the highlights that prove this book to be intriguing and thought-provoking.
Despite the book’s brevity, there’s so much going on with the plot and the twist at the end won’t leave you hanging. Surely, Benjamin has mastered the art of his novel. I was in awe of his knowledge of engines and cutting-edge technologies that reading feels like watching a movie. The details and descriptions in the narrative are absolutely brilliant and everything beautifully comes to life. Watch out for a very heart-breaking twist at the end. I love it!

The best thing about Diesel Nuts is that there’s nothing to dislike about this book. It perfectly and creatively recounts the life story of Diesel Nuts (William Williams) as to how he manages to face his bullies and enemies and becomes a true image of a hero.
Diesel grew up without a father. He was raised by his uncle who works as a mechanic for diesel engines. His exposure to his uncle’s job taught him a lot about engines. While he develops unique skills and talent with engines, Diesel has a stuttering disability. Working as an interceptor wasn’t easy for Diesel but his military training helped him do his job. While the town was in chaos due to the extremely high prices of gas and conflicts, Diesel found peace and purpose after meeting Malane. But both were faced with danger as they tried to fight off criminals.
Because I am not into happy endings, I got so engrossed by the plot, the denouement is timeless. And I believe that it’s going to leave a long-lasting impression on both minds and hearts of the readers. A great and suspenseful book to read!

Funny, action-packed, engaging, and dynamic: with eloquent prose that brings to life realistic and hard-to-put-down characters and plot.

I highly recommend this book! As a lover of actions, and romances that shed light on various societal issues, I found Benjamin Jenkins’ Diesel Nuts to be exactly my type of book. The perfect concoction of a heavily impactful discourse on morality and greed combined with the author’s creative writing makes for a very satisfying story to read and enjoy for a short time.
The author expertly entwines beautiful words and narratives choose the most exciting parts of his main character’s life, and skillfully adds depth by injecting romance, the character’s objectives and goals, and values to create an entertaining, and eye-opening story. Benjamin was able to achieve all these elements and Diesel Nuts totally took most of my time during these past few days. Honestly, I’d say it was time well-spent.

An action-filled novel that is surely going to have you at the edge of your seat the whole time. Because of its compelling scenes and well-drawn characters, I finished this book in just one sitting.
This is a book that delivers one of the most outstanding endings. Diesel, the Double D boys, Chief Bronson, and the rest of the ATOC must need to work together to find and catch the people behind the attack on the test lab.
The only qualm I have for this book is that everything came at you fast and hard, not really giving you a chance to sit with it in the end. There was only so much you could do with the major stakes of the book, only so much that you could take in at a time. As such, it didn’t quite stick the landing, despite a spectacular attempt to do so.
