About this ebook
Bouncing Outside offers a rapid paced and picareque flow of diverse subject matter, set inside the cockpit of a 17 foot kayak while paddling Northern California rivers and lakes. Written in non-fiction narrative form, Bouncing Outside flashes back through NFL football in the 1970s and 80s before big money excised the soul of the game; it covers an FBI-file authentic account of the biggest (at the time) bank robbery in US history along with a subsquent jailbreak and murder; it presents a co-pilot's view of Howard Hughes' pioneer 1939 around-the-world flight, his 91 hour triumph that awakened the universe to the prosects of international commerical aviation. Author Steve Cassady writes with fresh perspective in arresting prose and captivating detail.
