Starship Maui - by Richard Dux Missler (Paperback)

About the Book

Starship Maui: Book One will transport you to a world in which nature reigns supreme, clothing is optional, and drugs are a homegrown means of self-discovery.

Book Synopsis

It's 1974 on the island of Maui, and our young free spirit Jon is living rent-free as an artist and caretaker of a house near Hāna - a house in tropical paradise that comes with no electricity, plenty of mosquitoes, and an adventurous pup named Kolohe.

Jon and Kolohe bathe in waterfalls and hike through jungles, hitchhike along the highway, and meet colorful characters everywhere they go. While he's enjoying his fun ride as a single guy with plenty of freedom, Jon senses something-or someone-is missing.

In a flowing narrative, interspersed with present-day commentary from Jon's old friend Raoul, this is a hero's journey of epic proportions. As he explores the spectacular beauty of Maui, will Jon find the love that he's longing for, and the sense of belonging he craves?
