Book Description

November 30, 2008
At the end of a long road, on a tropical island, sits a rich horde of Spanish treasure that has captivated many over the years and caused more than a few heads to be filled with illicit thoughts. But never in the long and storied history of Key West has there been a major heist of any kind. With its riches locked safely away, every year Key West throws the biggest, wildest street party south of New Orleans. Among the thousands of revelers at Fantasy Fest this year is a daring young man who plans to bring back a long forgotten pirate tradition: the tradition of stealing treasure from anyone who has it. Carefree boat bum Taco Bob and friends are soon caught up in the treasure fever sweeping through the island city. But big money draws bad people, and before long nearly everyone in Key West just wants to get Lucky.

More About the Author

Raised by skydivers, Robert Tacoma spent his formative years in central Florida public schools during the week and at various jump centers across the state on weekends. He also learned to fish the waters in and around the Sunshine State, so you could say he grew to appreciate Florida from the air and water as well as the land.
Though he has never been to Texas, Robert can usually find it on a map. He currently lives in north central Florida and all his pets have run away.

4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable romp set in Key West., March 9, 2010

This review is from: Key Lucky (Kindle Edition)
Before going to Key West last week, I had asked at the Amazon forum for suggestions of books set there, and this one came up.

At the beginning of the book, Lucky (an appropriate name for someone who isn't) robs the Mel Fisher treasure museum in Key West. Thereafter, he is desperately trying to keep his hoard from those attempting to steal it from him.

There are quite a few memorable wacky characters here involving Lucky's friends (and villains). This is light stuff, but with some action, and a verve in storytelling. I enjoyed it immensely.

The Kindle edition was fine with minimal typos or formatting problems.

5.0 out of 5 stars Robert Tacoma's oeuvre, September 16, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Key Lucky (Kindle Edition)
I like these light adventures - no message, no gore. Robert Tacoma knows his South Florida fiction, so you will find references to Hiassen's ex Gov. Skink or maybe a description of Doc Ford's hangout. These novels are not as dark as Randy Wayne White's work, nor as wild and crazy as that of Tim Dorsey, but they are in that league. Personally, I prefer the Key ones to those set in South Texas. Here is my attempt to list them chronologically, which is probably the best order to read the Key ones.

Robert Tacoma (various protagonists)
Key Weird. 2005. 4.0
Key Weirder 2005 4.3
Color Me Weird 2007 4.3 no, it really is a coloring book, with a story
Key Witch 2008 4.3
Key Lucky 2008 4.0
Possum Surprise 2009 3.3 S Texas small town, duller. Early MS dusted off?
Key Manatee 2010 4.0
Sheriff Skunk 2010 5.0 S Texas small town
Key Dali 2011 4.0 1st person Dali, Key West street artist, w usual cast
