Damnation Alley is a 1967 novel by Roger Zelazny, in which Hell Tanner, the last Hell's Angel, is hired/coerced into driving across a post-apocalyptic Dystopian US to deliver a desperately needed vaccine.
Inspired a 1977 film of the same name, which doesn't have much in common apart from the name and a post-apocalyptic setting.
