Summary
Somewhere in Arizona’s Chocolate Mountains lie the Big Maria Mine and a wealth of gold lost for 100 years. There’s only one problem: Those mountains are now the home of the US Army Proving Ground, the world’s largest active artillery range. But for Harry, Ricky, and Frank, three down-at-the-heels guys with few dollars but plenty of dreams, the gold offers each of them a chance for a new life. Are scuba diving through an underwater ghost town; facing down a hungry mountain lion; doing the hesitation waltz across a minefield; matching wits with potheads, pit bulls, and bikers; and braving the might of Uncle Sam’s full arsenal worth it?
With little more than a samurai sword, a severed head, and an impractical amount of optimism, these intrepid soldiers of (mis)fortune are about to find out.

Absolutely Brilliant!
This book had me laughing, crying, pondering, and most of all, thanking my lucky stars that I discovered it! I have never laughed so hard at some of the absurd and hilarious things that happen in this exorbitant tale.
I cried so hard at times because it was so easy to fall in love with most of the characters and it hurt when they experienced pain.
I'd never heard of the author, Johnny Shaw before and his mind is truly amazing he's definitely one of my favourites now. I can't wait to read more of his works, but I have a feeling nothing will top this book because it touched my heart deeply and I will remember it for the rest of my life!
The narrator was outstanding, he really brought the book and all of the characters to life. I don't have a single complaint about this book aside from its ending! I'd love to see a movie of this zany and wonderful tale!
