Storms is hitting the road. Inspired by the classic biker flick <em>Easy Rider, </em> the irrepressible trivia buff and his drug-addled travel buddy, Coleman, head out on a motorcycle tour down the length of the Sunshine State, on a mission to rediscover the lost era of the American Dream. But going from small town to small town, they discover that some have lost much of their former charm--including one particular hamlet of sleazy rural politicos hell-bent on keeping prying eyes out of their ineptly corrupt style of local government.</p><p>Serge and Coleman engage in some high-life hijinks, complete with the state's trademark crop of jerks, lethal science experiments, drug kingpins, double-crosses, unearthed bodies, barbecue, and groovy tunes. And when a few innocent newcomers stumble into the mix, the stakes are raised to new backwoods heights.</p><p><strong>"Entertainingly picaresque." </strong><strong>--<em>Publishers Weekly (starred review)</em></strong></p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p><strong>Florida's favorite trigger-happy, shoot-from-the-hip vigilante history teacher is back--and he has a few scores to settle.</strong></p><p>Serge A.
