While this is not actually a novel, it is still a wild and crazy ride through a madcap recollection of experiences in the 70’s and 80’s Caribbean – during the early and middle years of author Michael Reisig’s life. (As a professional diver, pilot, treasure seeker, and taker of foolish chances). Ultimately, many of these preposterous events, along with a good deal of imagination, led to the writing of his best-selling series, The Road to Key West. These tales will make you smile with wonder, remind you of the importance of loyalty and love in life, and make you laugh your ass off. In addition, Reisig has taken these experiences, encounters, and adventures, and blended them into and around the highlights of his eight “Road To Key West” novels -- offering an introduction to each book. Included in the package is an assortment of memorable photos and terrific quotes, to create a humorous, insightful, walk down memory lane for new and seasoned readers. If you haven’t read any of “The Road To Key West” novels, this is the perfect place to begin.

In the ninth novel of his bestselling "Road To Key West" series, Michael Reisig once again locks his readers into a careening odyssey of hidden fortunes, mercurial romance, conscienceless villains, and bizarre friends. From Caracas to New Orleans, into the dark fringes of Haiti, down through the Windward Islands, then back into The Florida Keys, Kansas Stamps, Will Bell, and The Hole In The Coral Wall Gang chase a stolen Pre-Columbian treasure. Then there's the Voodoo-practicing drug boss, a vengeful Columbian Don, and a highly artful assassin. Before you can catch your breath, it all rolls together into a turbulent Key West Fantasy Fest finale. So, sit back, pour yourself a margarita, and slide into the islands one more time. You're on "The Road" again.

Once again, The Hole In The Coral Wall Gang is wrapped in a wild adventure - from South Florida to South America, and back again. In the process of rescuing an old friend from a ruthless Venezuelan gem-mining boss, they discover a unique historical revelation regarding the stars, the earth, and the people in between. But that's just where the tale begins... Diamonds and emeralds, a lost city infused by a treasure and an ancient race, a secret cave with a timeless message, ruthless bandits, jungle Indians, and nefarious cowboys are all part of this non-stop roller coaster ride. Did I mention the gang's new guide, Arturio - a Venezuelan outback opportunist who has a mild obsession with Russian Roulette? Or Passi, the lustful jungle witch who just can't make up her mind? The pages are waiting to be turned...

The Road to Key West is an adventurous/humorous sojourn that cavorts its way through the 1970s Caribbean, from Key West and the Bahamas, to Cuba and Central America. In August of 1971, Kansas Stamps and Will Bell set out to become nothing more than commercial divers in the Florida Keys, but adventure, or misadventure, seems to dog them at every turn. They encounter a parade of bizarre characters, from part-time pirates and heartless larcenists, to Voodoo bokors, a wacky Jamaican soothsayer, and a handful of drug smugglers. Adding even more flavor to this Caribbean brew is a complicated romance, a lost Spanish treasure, and an antediluvian artifact created by a distant congregation who truly understood the term, "pyramid power." So pour yourself a margarita and slide into the '70s for a while, as you follow Kansas and Will through this cocktail of madcap adventures - on The Road To Key West!

Goodnight monsters everywhere, in this parody romp with its own special twist! “Goodnight tomb. Goodnight goon. Goodnight Martians taking over the moon.” It’s bedtime in the cold gray tomb with a black lagoon, and two slimy claws, and a couple of jaws, and a skull and a shoe and a pot full of goo. But as a little werewolf settles down, in comes the Goon determined at all costs to run amok and not let any monster have his rest. A beloved classic gets a kind-hearted send up in this utterly monsterized parody; energetic art and a hilarious text will have kids begging to read this again and again.
