About this ebook

After Winston Finn's wife of many years leaves him to live with her girlfriend in Mississippi, the distraught retired stock broker decides to travel and see the world. Early on he meets Liberty Belle,a young former army nurse and airline flight attendant. Because Winston and Liberty have similar interests, they decide to embark on their journey together.
During their travels, they encounter such characters as Father Flanagan and his "conversion extraordinaire"; Olivia Stockton and the Society for the Prevention of Erotic Relationships with Men; Captain Fung Goo and the Chinese pirates; Alandra the Moon Goddess; Willa Catheter and Captain Hashimototo; and a host of others.
At one point in the novel, Liberty--or Libby as she prefers to be called--relates how she was captured by Captain Fung Goo, sold into slavery at the Lucky Star House of Celestial Pleasures in Thailand, and how she eventually made her escape while at the same time taking revenge on her nemesis General Mortimer (Kickass) Shostakapulski.
At the conclusion to the novel, Winston and Libby are captured by three terrorists who are foreign guest students at a community college in New York. But when Libby outwits Abdul bin Pasquelante, Mohammed bin Rashid,and Mahmud bin Pudendum; the two travelers are able to escape.
