Horsepower
Erik Fyksen, the owner of Norway’s last Mobilstasjon gas station, needs to mobilize his life and leave the service pit behind. Plans for realignment of the road and modernization of the gas station lead Fyksen into a lonely battle against both urban forces and ghosts from his own past. And not least, he wages a battle against his old rival, the shooting club chairman Harald Jøtul.

«A strong debut. […] The main theme of the book is not primarily cars, but the meaning of life, love and globalization […] extremely malicious [...] a highly enjoyable read.»
«It is quite simply damn good!»
