I believe that's A Road to Dusty Death.  His early books are quite
good, but tend to a formula; his last few books are so heavily 
formula that you know exactly what is going to happen, and aren't
written well enough for you to care anyway.  But you can't go
wrong with _The Satan Bug_ and his other books before 1980 or so.
