A tale of gas, grass, ass, and Vietnam.
Air Force pilot Slats Kisov's courage is audacious, his strategy is devil-may-care, and his luck is impeccable until his plane is shot down over the jungle and he sustains the “million-dollar injury”―one that leaves him no less audacious if just slightly less fertile.
But war has made Slats something of an adrenaline junkie, and he returns to the States determined to live a life of harmless banditry from the cockpit of an airplane. Using his exceptional low-and-slow flying skills, he smuggles marijuana into Florida from the Bahamas aided by his friends the Morales brothers.
Generally, Slats enjoys good fortune as he wobbles through life, but his luck takes an appalling turn when Bobby Ray Pistle, police chief of Farth, Florida, suspects that Slats is running weed. Pistle’s bulb burns too dimly to find proof, but when the chief discovers his lusty ex has fallen for Slats, it’s time to fish or cut bait.
Will Slats’ former battles with the Viet Cong, hijackers, PTSD, and Mother Nature prepare him for his most perilous battle of all―the one he must wage against Chief Bobby Ray Pistle? Strap yourself in and get ready for a bumpy ride. And one spectacular landing!
