Key Waste: Swinging with Savages in the Conch Republic

By Jag Allan

I had only been in Key Waste for a little over an hour when I was shanghaied into my first major dope deal.

When Al, a recent college graduate attempting to delay his entrance into the 'real world," sets out to search for a lost uncle and a little adventure in the rum jungle of the Florida Keys, he gets a whole lot more than he bargained for.

Al discovers a thriving hidden subculture teeming with outlaw intrigue and populated by crooks and crazies of all varieties. Through an increasingly bizarre and hilarious series of maneuvers and shenanigans, these individuals give him an unexpected sense of home and belonging.

Rife with madness, mayhem, and murder, Key Waste: Swinging with Savages in the Conch Republic is a shady and mysterious tale about a place that lies at the end of the road, the end of the continent, and, some might say, the end of the world.

Author Jag Allan has crafted a distinctly American story about a young Gen Xer's journey to find the soul of his nation-and the soul in himself.

Customer Reviews

In the case of Key Waste Vs. Key Witness, All rise the verdict is in...

Key Waste was an amphetamine induced ride with an energized start to an exalting finish. The author uses an interesting foreshadowing technique by pairing songs with chapters. Jag Allan describes this effort as a book soundtrack. Much like "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" the author paints a picture so vivid its unbelievable if compared to our often hum-drum lives. If you are looking to have a spirited read then you can find it in Key Waste the author's double entendre for Key West, Fl.

Worth the time...

Key Waste takes its reader through an exciting world many will never know or understand. Full of twisted ideas, thoughts, and humor, Key Waste could be used as a guide of what not to do if you want a safe trip to the Keys. Jag, Thanks for all the fun.

A wild ride through the 'Real' Florida Keys!

Key Waste is a trip... way below the 'tourist belt' and beyond - reads like a film...fast-changing characters/scenes... shocks at every turn! A quick read that takes you on the fast track to insanity from which you will, hopefully, return! Can't wait to ready jag allan's next adventure!
