Synopsis

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!

The best Key West stories can only be written by those who have lived here, and Reisig expertly captures the steamy, seedy, beautiful allure of the islands. The Road to Key West takes readers on a hysterical journey through the humidity and humanity that only exists in the lower latitudes. And much like the Keys in the 1970s, it s a hell of a trip. Mandy Bolen, The Key West Citizen "The Road to Key West" combines the dry cleverness of Lewis Grizzard, the wit of Dave Barry, and Reisig's impeccable sense of timing. It's an action-packed, romantic, charming, hilarious take on the 70s and its generation. A must-read! John Archibald, Ouachita Life Magazine "The Road to Key West" may seem full of bizarre twists and wild situations, but it's far closer to the unreality of the Keys in the 1970s than you might think. The islands were a last resort for many, a haven for the kind of outlandish characters Reisig brings to life, and he delivers that image in 3-D. Those who have watched the last of the sun touch an evening sea someplace strange and temperate, and those who have lived a little on the edge once or twice in their lives, can t help but be drawn into this captivating tale of adventures in paradise. Bill Becker, News Director, U.S. 1 Radio in the Florida Keys Michael Reisig is the best-selling author of five novels. His books have been optioned for motion pictures, featured on the cover of Writer s Digest, and were #1 bestsellers for Books in Motion audio books.
