The story is a seething pool of oil billionaires, a conniving Cabinet Secretary and the hero, a Rocky-like character who sinks his teeth into the festering body politic. A beautiful industrial spy almost dives into the pool herself but, instead, stands on its shore because the man she was directed to double-cross becomes her love interest.
A Georgia billionaire pays an Arab sheik over a billion dollars to slow the flow of oil to America. Even as the transaction takes place the billionaire plots to double-cross him with the help of a strange Hong Kong character whose office floor is scrubbed every night with distilled water. This wealthy obsessive-compulsive keeps a harem of beautiful masseuses but his bigger thrills come when he chats with his friend, the owner of the San Francisco 49ers while watching the well-muscled brutes shower in the locker room.
While fiction, the story is jammed with jaw-dropping facts about the world’s oil supplies and a host of illegal laws that squeeze America’s second biggest industry, trucking. The novel is based on true events that made national and international news in the 1970s and 1980s.
Underlining the angst that all Americans feel when held hostage by an OPEC fuel shortage are independent truckers who roll up their sleeves and roll into Washington to force Congress to take action about what the hero feels, but cannot prove, is a contrived oil shortage. The hero is suspected of fomenting highway violence through sniping and rock-throwing in order to scare truckers off the road in order to promote a shutdown. He is forced to hide in a “submarine on wheels,” a converted milk tanker that’s a rolling office and convenient scene for romance between himself and the sultry spy.
While the hero organizes angry citizens to pick up their torches and pitchforks to march on Washington, he must dodge both the FBI and Department of Transportation sleuths trying to track him with satellites.
The Georgia billionaire is a Ross Perot wannabe who uses the shortages to launch his presidential campaign. He is so desperate to win at any cost that the highway violence his hatchet man organized puts his family at risk. In Washington, an investigative reporter doggedly tracks the Secretary of Energy’s skullduggery while the billionaire’s press secretary -- also his mistress -- plans to write a book about him, the subject of which could be more explosive than the highway mayhem or one of the most graphic suicides ever witnessed in public, a distraught farmer who kills himself because his children swam in his backyard pond ruled off-limits by the Environmental Protection Agency. The surprise ending is even more jolting than the violence that terrorized truckers and motorists alike.

I grew up on Mike Parkhurst's Overdrive Magazine. It was by far the best trade magazine I've ever come across. As Mr. Parkhurst would often say, "it's not a magazine, it's a crusade!" Mike was, and still is, quite a guy. He has some experience in the writing and publishing field as well as the trucking industry. He honestly and earnestly wants to see the lot of the common trucker greatly improved, since they regularly are s*** on by almost everyone, while doing the vital job of bringing everyone their stuff! I wholeheartedly agree with him on this!However, this book was a bit disappointing. While the premise is interesting, and the plot somewhat believable, the writing style is quite disjointed. The mixing in of trucking technical jargon, while perhaps interesting to die hard truck fans, doesn't really sit well. Also, there are some very serious problems in our government that go way, far beyond those described in this book. Suffice it to say, I only gave it 3 stars. It has a very 70's feel to it, perhaps because that was his generation, but it comes across as raunchy when there really is no need for that.
If you're a truck fan or an old Overdrive fan, then go ahead. You'll probably enjoy it.

SemiJustice edition by Mike Parkhurst Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks Reviews
Pretty short fictional story with accurate facts. Every American should read this.
Great read and very uplifting. Semi-justice 'hits the nail on the head.' Way to go Mike, looking forward to the next one.
As someone who has spent a fair amount of time around trucking and also around the District I found Semi-Justice very entertaining. Parkhurst's intimatcy with both worlds adds credibility and makes this book believable. I highly recommend Semi-Justice.

This book brought back a lot of memories for me. I was driving during this time and got involved in the blockades on the ohio and Pennsylvania turnpikes. I was driving a portable parking lot and a sixty ton low boy hauling high wide and heavy permit loads. I spent a week in Youngstown at the big orange ball.it was there that I met mike park hurst . I wish his magazine were still aviable . The principals mike campaigned for we're good for all the industry but some could not see that. This book stretches some of the events and changes names but that is to avoid legal problems I would guess. Good read for anyone that is interested in trucking. I will recommend this to my fellow drivers along with the video mike has out about the same subject. All so I still have my road masters belt buckle. Thanks again for good book and video.
