Channeling his inner Easy Rider, Serge Storms saddles up for his most epic, lethal, and hilarious road trip ever as he revvs off to find the lost American Dream . . . starting in the Florida Panhandle.

Obsessed with the iconic Sixties classic Easy Rider, encyclopedic Floridaphile, lovable serial killer, and movie buff extraordinaire Serge A. Storms devises his wildest plan yet: finish the journey begun by his freewheeling heroes, Captain America and Billy, tragically cut short by some shotgun-wielding rednecks.

Setting a course for the Florida panhandle, Captain Sergeâ??with Coleman literally riding shotgunâ??mounts his classic motorcycle and hits the highway in search of the real America: the apple-pie-eating, freedom-swilling moms and pops of Main Street USA.

But the America he finds in the rural burgs dotting the neck of the peninsula is a little bit different . . . and a whole lot weirder than anything Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper encountered. In a state where criminal politicians are more common than gators, Serge and Coleman discover one particular speed-trap locale so aggressively inept at corruption that investigators are baffled where to start.

Expect nothing less than madness, mayhem, ingenious homicides, and mind-altering pharmaceuticals when Serge and Coleman's path intersects with the Sunshine State's hyper-dysfunctional rusticity.

Where's Jack Nicholson when you need him… (altro)

If you have never read this author don't start with this book, you will likely be disappointed. Start at the beginning of the series. This book is far more mellow than the rest of the series, and for me was a refreshing change.
This is I think the 18th book to feature Serge and Colman, and for the last five or six books in the series these main characters have gotten tiresome, and become shells of the characters they were in the beginning. I think the author has decided to branch out a bit as well, because while Serge and Colman plan a prominent role in this book there are plenty of other characters and are you ready an actual story this time.
Tim Dorsey, the author, waxes nostalgic for the 60's and and old baseball, apple pie everyone having dinner together small town America. Much of this commentary is accurate, and it just takes Serge to point out why we miss it.
As always there are crooked politicians and complete innocents thrown to the wolves until Serge rescues them, not always the best hero a person could ask for.
I really enjoyed this series entry, and think the author should make Serge and Colman more background characters rather than the stars of his future books. ( )

My first book by Tim Dorsey and didn't quite expect this. Currently on page 134/Chap. 16 and I have thought about giving up twice. Parts about Wobbly interests me more than Serge's. :/

I'm so glad I kept on reading. It got pretty good and was funny. ( )
