Driving to Nowhere uses the plot of Shakespeare's Hamlet for an action/adventure novel. Jason, a bright but shy and gentle student, comes home from the university and finds that his uncle has poisoned his father and is sleeping with his mother. His father appears to him in a dream and demands vengeance. Jason uses his father's funeral to satisfy himself that his uncle committed the crime. Like Hamlet during his sojourn with the pirates, Jason joins the army, becomes a tough fighting man, and has adventures in Afghanistan. He returns and takes his revenge. Two endings one tragic, the other happy bring the novel to a satisfying close.
