Description

In this riveting compilation of autobiographical short stories, Fredric Altman unveils a tapestry of life experiences that mirror the raw intensity and vivid storytelling reminiscent of literary giants Ernest Hemingway, Hunter S. Thompson, and Jack Kerouac. Each tale varies, ranging from the bizarre and extraordinary to thought-provoking and from hilarious to the mundane. Altman’s narrative prowess weaves a thread between the profound and the absurd.

Altman narrates the lead-up to an 18-ton marijuana bust, a narrative that unfolds with the gonzo energy of Hunter S. Thompson. Crooked sheriffs, plane crashes, and the cold steel bars of federal prison set the stage for a gripping tale of downfall and redemption. Altman’s words, akin to Thompson’s unrestrained chaos, take you on a rollercoaster ride through the underbelly of society, punctuated by moments of transcendence.

In a stark departure, embark on an adrenaline-fueled voyage as Altman recounts four harrowing days lost at sea, the relentless dance with mortality casting a shadow over every page. His prose, Hemingwayesque in its brevity, captures the essence of survival against the vast and unforgiving backdrop of the ocean.

As Altman’s narratives echo the spontaneity of Jack Kerouac’s On the Road, the reader is invited to traverse the highways and byways of an unconventional life. Through the highs and lows, Altman’s storytelling remains a constant, a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of the written word.

“18 Tons, 92 Hours & a Cloud of Dust” is not just a book; it’s a literary odyssey that immerses you in the thrilling escapades of Fredric Altman, a modern-day raconteur whose tales resonate with the timeless echoes of three literary maestros.

  1. Oscar Lopez –

    Fredric Altman’s “18 Tons and 92 Hours: and 160 other clouds of dust” is an electrifying compilation of autobiographical short stories that catapults readers into the whirlwind life of a modern-day adventurer. Altman’s narratives are laced with raw intensity and vivid storytelling, offering an exhilarating mix of the bizarre, the extraordinary, the hilarious, and the heartbreaking. Each story is a testament to his ability to capture the essence of life’s unpredictability, making the book impossible to put down. The book’s variety is a major draw. From recounting the chaotic lead-up to an 18-ton marijuana bust, replete with crooked sheriffs and plane crashes, to the harrowing experience of being lost at sea for four days, Altman delivers a wide spectrum of experiences. This diversity ensures that there is something for every reader, whether they crave action, introspection, or humor. The authenticity in Altman’s storytelling is palpable. His accounts of downfall and redemption, moments of transcendence, and the relentless dance with mortality, strike a chord with readers seeking genuine and unvarnished life stories. This emotional depth and honesty add to the book’s appeal. Despite the often extraordinary circumstances of Altman’s life, the themes he explores are universal—resilience, survival, transformation, and the human spirit’s capacity to endure. These themes ensure that readers from all walks of life can find something relatable and inspiring in his tales.

    An honest, unfiltered look at this man’s fascinating life. Events I would never experience for myself (I mean wow), some rooted in history. And the humor, just knock your socks off. We purchased this as a gift for friends as well.

  3. Janis Altman –

    “92 hours“ recounts his time spent “lost at sea” in the waters of the Gulf of Mexico attached to their capsized boat. The time was spent praying and hoping for rescue. This only came after days passed and several close rays of hope also passed by. The rest of the true stories recount a life full of some adventures and misadventures as the case may be.

    “ 18 tons” in the title refers to the Great Sapelo Bust. It held the record for the largest marijuana bust in American history for ten years. It still holds the record for Georgia.
    Altman and friends ( or co-conspirators) attempted to smuggle a shrimpboat load of pot into the States, but got caught.

    As his younger sister, I was unaware of most of his escapades until reading his book. I was unaware of the sheer number of some of his experiences and endeavors and was surprised at the level of danger involved with some of them. His wife (#5) says he has nine lives. I’ll bet he has used several if not eight of them. I know that during the latter part of his life he matured and was successful with his diving company and two bed and breakfasts, along with his wife, Janet.

  4. Theodora Schmid –

    Buckle up reader, for you will be taken on a thrilling, bumpy ride. If Jimi Hendrix asked Ric his famous question, “ Are you experienced?”, the answer would be a resounding , YES! The writing is plain- spoken because the life he describes does not need any enhancement. The variety of experiences and the way Ric deals with them is life affirming.. How he grows and matures after a series of ups and downs in life and relationships makes this book worth reading. The sheer number of ways in which Ric got his kicks is mind- boggling and so very creative. What energy! He has landed squarely on his feet after a life-time of an amazing wild ride. Come along and join him!

  5. Brian –

  7. admin (store manager) –

    Ric! I keep forgetting to tell you that I absolutely tore through that book. I am floored at the stories and the incredible amount of detail that you were able to recall and put into these snippets and what a journey it was! I still need to wrap my head around trying to craft a review for you, but I wanted to let you know and thank you again for your book!

    Needed to put you one tiny observation to finally thank you the moment again considering the wonderful secrets you’ve shared on this site. It is really pretty open-handed with you to give freely all most people would have supplied for an e-book to help make some profit for their own end, particularly since you might have done it in the event you decided. Those good ideas also acted like the easy way to fully grasp that other people have the identical desire much like mine to grasp a lot more when it comes to this problem. I’m sure there are lots of more fun times up front for people who go through your blog post.
