by Robert Bach

The Truth I Imagine

Pretty good book. It's not necessarily going to teach you how to smuggle drugs for fun and profit, but mostly how not to - which is by airplane, at least not anymore;) Great book overall and I assume it's true to this day. I guess I'd like to know if he had any money left, but I'm sure the attorneys separated him from it in the end if not. The only improvement might be for more details on technique, the governments tactics and what the author hears about today's methods.

Interesting but very dry and draggy in places.

I loved this book!!! I'm very familiar with Florida and most of the places mentioned I've been, I've also spent a few months in Belize and am familiar with Orange Walk, Corozal, and the jungles. In my early 20s we were in a much lower level, but similar, operation and some of the people/characters Mr Bach mentioned could be related to some clowns I once knew.
With that said, I enjoyed the pace, the writing style, the clearly explained aspects of his operations. What a wild ride! Some of us did get out safe. I bet Robert pays more attention to his intuition these days. I appreciated the character introductions in the beginning of the book, [the good, the bad and the ugly] very helpful. The clarity he provided between what he felt and what he actually did is a compelling story. No bull stuffing or added fluff. With this story it wasn't necessary. I picked up my Kindle every opportunity to read this, but now I'm sad it's over. A most excellent read. Bravo!

Well written account of an experienced smuggler pilot back in the mid-80's. Great stories from his smuggling trips. I do have a pet peeve about misspelling "Colombia" the country, but overall it was enjoyable.

Just OK

For $2.99 this wasn’t a bad way to waste a few hours a day. These smuggler’s books become very similar after a while
So much so that I have another one on the kindle that I’m not even sure whether I’ve read it before, so putting this genre to bed at this point.

Interesting read

A very interesting read. As they say fact is often stranger than fiction and this book proves it. Well worth checking out

Good stories, interesting, exciting, and compelling.
But, desperately needs editing.
