WHAT IF YOU DISCOVERED A DEVICE THAT MADE PEOPLE TELL THE TRUTH?
Fast-paced humor-adventure with wacky pilots, quirky con men, bold
women, mad villains, and a gadget to die for... In the third book
of Michael Reisig's captivating series, Florida Keys adventurers
Kansas Stamps and Will Bell find their lives turned upside down
when they discover a truth device hidden in the temple of an
ancient civilization. Enthralled by the virtue (and entertainment
value) of personally dispensing truth and justice with this unique
tool, they take it all a step too far and discover that everyone
wants what they have. Seasoned with outrageous humor and sultry
romances, Along The Road To Key West carries you through one wild
adventure after another. This time, Kansas and Will are forced to
wrest veracity and lies from con artists, divine hustlers, and
political power brokers while trying to stay one step ahead of a
persistent assembly of very bad guys with guns. In the process,
from Key West, into the Caribbean, and back to America's heartland,
our inadvertent heroes gather a bizarre collage of friends and
enemies - from a whacked-out, one-eyed pilot, and a mystical
Rastaman, to a ruthless problem-solver for a prominent religious
sect, a zany flimflamming sociopath, and a Cuban intelligence
agent. In the end, it all comes down to a frantic gamble - to save
far more than the truth. So pour yourself a margarita and settle
back. You're in for a high intensity Caribbean carnival ride NOTE:
Much of this book was originally published as a novel of mine
called, "The Truthmaker." But with the growing popularity of my
"Road To Key West" series, I decided to rewrite it and publish it
as "Along The Road To Key West." - Michael Reisig
Back On The Road To Key West From the best-selling author of "The
Road To Key West" comes a sequel guaranteed to take the reader even
higher - another rollicking, hilarious Caribbean adventure that
will have you ripping at the pages and laughing out loud. "Back On
The Road To Key West" reintroduces the somewhat reluctant
adventurers Kansas Stamps and Will Bell, casting them into one
bizarre situation after another while capturing the true flavor and
feel of Key West and the Caribbean in the early 1980s. An ancient
map and a lost pirate treasure, a larcenous Bahamian scoundrel and
his gang of cutthroats, a wild and crazy journey into South America
in search of a magical antediluvian device, and perilous/hilarious
encounters with outlandish villains and zany friends will keep you
locked to your seat and giggling maniacally. (Not to mention
headhunters, smugglers, and beautiful women with poisonous pet
spiders.) You'll also welcome back Rufus, the wacky, mystical
Jamaican Rastaman, and be captivated by another "complicated
romance" as Kansas and Will struggle with finding and keeping "the
girls of their dreams." So pour yourself a margarita, and get
comfortable. You're in for another rousing medley of madcap
adventures in paradise, with "Back On The Road To Key West." IF YOU

WEST" SERIES: "ALONG THE ROAD TO KEY WEST "
