Publisher's Summary

In 1996, Allan Weisbecker sold his home and his possessions, loaded his dog and surfboards into his truck, and set off in search of his longtime friend and surfing companion, Christopher, who had vanished into the depths of Central America.

In this rollicking memoir of his quest from Mexico to Costa Rica to unravel the circumstances of Christopher's disappearance, Weisbecker intimately describes the people he befriended, the bandits he evaded, and the waves he caught and lost en route to finding his friend. Along the way, he shares hilarious stories of his adventures with Christopher in their carefree youth as globetrotting, pot-dealing beach bums.

A tale of lost innocence and enduring friendship, In Search of Captain Zero is a trip unlike any other.

What the critics say

"[E]nchanting....[Weisbecker's] adventures are as thrilling and as entertaining as any fictional road trip could ever hope to be....This memoir is, like any good autobiography, a journey to the place where memories live, an adventure of the mind." ( Booklist)
"[A] lovely personal reflection that mixes the right amount of dreamy meditation with page-turning allure....Weisbecker clearly delights in storytelling as much as he enjoys language itself." ( Publishers Weekly)

Painful

I really wanted to read this book. The main character in it lived in my town. When he died here I was very interested in his life. That is why I downloaded this book. But the author is so wordy and he takes so long to get to any point, it’s really hard to hang in there with him. I’ve tried multiple times and i just haven’t been able to even get to the halfway point yet
