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 ENJOY THIS BOOK, BE SURE TO READ THE THIRD IN REISIG'S "ROAD TO KEY WEST" SERIES: "ALONG THE ROAD TO KEY WEST "
