Yes, you are correct, the author's Frank Herbert. Thank you.

Most readers probably agree with you and do not classify HEISENBERG as
a road trip. Meanwhile, the roadtrip subplot drives the most moving,
memorable part of the the story for me. It sates my inner Kerouac
impulse.

Lizbeth and Harvey Durant are on the lam from the time they leave the
hospital until the last rural road runs out at the trailhead of a
mountain path. Up and up they go until they witness a deadly green fog
rolling upon the distant Seatec Megalopolis far below.

It's dreamlike to me - a close brush with death.

Danke,
