Asphalt Warrior: The Story Of New York City’s Fastest Messenger
by Kurt Boone

In New York City’s business districts, billion of dollars are traded everyday and power deals are closed every minute. Within the hundreds of skyscrapers there are dedicated messenger centers that insure and time to the minute the delivery of business documents used to complete deals large and small. Kurt Boone has worked as a foot messenger for over 14 years, rushing throughout the city in all weather conditions, picking up and delivering these critical business documents. In Asphalt Warrior he tells his story as one of the fastest messengers in the city and his experiences in the now world-famous messenger culture, describing the messenger lifestyle of parties, alleycat racing, riding fixed bicycles and carrying messenger bags to and from the most high-end office buildings and residential apartment buildings in the world.
