New Release: The Good Cyclist by Dirk Budwill

SYRACUSE, N.Y. - May 20, 2017 - PRLog -- The Good Cyclist by Dirk Budwill transports the reader to Germany in 1914 into the life of Ludwig Schmidt, a young man whose face and life have been ravaged by a fire. As a result, he is shunned and ridiculed by German society. Yet Ludwig is an excellent cyclist, and when World War I begins he is quickly conscripted into the army. His mission: transporting messages and provisions for the German soldiers on the Eastern front with his bicycle.  In The Good Cyclist, Ludwig faces great hardship and witnesses horror, yet this is overshadowed by the evil of an officer who torments him mercilessly. Ludwig reaches a point where his ability to resist being overcome with a desire for violent revenge against this man seems impossible. Only his faith in God gives him a chance to overcome the evil that comes against him.
