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

Editorial Review:

Having Joe Barret read In Search of Captain Zero to you is a real treat, and a great way to experience this classic book, even if you're already read it.   I've read the book 3 times, but listening to it on a recent 16 hour round trip roadtrip was an entirely new experience.  His nuanced voice brought details to light that I'd absently skipped over in the text, unveiling another layer of richness in an already rich story.  Plus, it made a long, unpleasant drive fly by like I couldn't believe.
