Joe R. Lansdale: Captains Outrageous (USA 2001) From the Publisher: Spending his days guarding the local poultry plant, he doesn't look forward to going home to his lady Brett, with whom making love has become like twice-ground hamburger without the fixings. Suddenly, a spontaneous, off-duty act of rescue earns Hap and his best friend Leonard Pine a cruise down the Gulf of Mexico to the Caribbean. But their holiday is short-lived, thanks to a shipboard eruption of Leonard's proud, hot temper. Stranded with Hap in Mexico, Leonard buys an ugly hat, gets stabbed by a thug cop, and is saved from armed desperadoes by a geriatric fisherman and his gorgeous daughter. Then things get dangerous. On frighteningly foreign turf, Hap and Leonard wade through a cast bigger than the U.S. army, including a nudist mobster, his seven-foot enforcer, and a hog-raising private eye. Getting way too close to high-echelon corruption and murder, they will find a parcel of trouble following them everywhere. And along the way Leonard may even buy a new hat. Combining a thirst for old-fangled adventure with the thrill-romping, New West spirit that is the Lansdale brand, Captains Outrageous presents a side of one of today's most compelling fictional partnerships that is mellower than before-and more buckwild than ever. Joe R. Lansdale: Captains Outrageous. A Hap Collins and Leonard Pine Novel. Mysterious Press, ISBN: 0892967285 (September, 2001), 319 p., $24.95.
