Jet-bike – A form of personal transportation mentioned in the series.
- GF2000 – Ridden by Roarke and Eve in Interlude in Death.[1]
- Roarke owned at least three in Purity in Death: When Eve was in his “vehicular toy warehouse... she’d never understand what one man needed with twenty cars, three jet-bikes, a minicopter, and a couple of all-terrains. And that didn’t count the ones he had stashed elsewhere.”[2]
- In Visions in Death, Ute used a compact jet-bike for the fake delivery to John Blue.[3]
- In Salvation in Death, a bike messenger rode by on a jet-bike, gleefully challenged a Rapid Cab for position, and whizzed away with lunatic speed.[4] Ariel Greenfeld’s masterpiece New York cake included “Rapid cabs, maxibuses, jet-bikes, scooters, delivery vans, and other vehicles.”[5]
- Other mentions.[6]
- It was spelled as two words (“jet bike”) in Judgment in Death, when Dallas told McNab to go through the security discs from the George Washington Bridge after Lt. Mills’s car was found there with his dead body inside: “I want you to freeze and enhance every car, van, scooter, and fucking jet bike that came through that level from this point until the area was blocked off.”[7]
- In the vid Eve and Roarke watched in Creation in Death, “the hero -- distinguished by the fact he’d kicked the most ass so far -- burst through the mêlée on the back of a jet-bike.”[8]
