In un caldo pomeriggio texano, Cindy Nance rivela a Doug Hoover due grandi segreti della vita. Il primo lo entusiasma, mentre il secondo, che i ragazzi crescono e devono lavorare, lo delude. Attraverso matrimoni falliti e lavori insoddisfacenti, Doug si rende conto della verità delle parole di Cindy. Deluso dal presente, cerca di rivivere le gioie del passato, decidendo di lasciare moglie e lavoro. Tuttavia, la sua vita cambia quando incontra Sue Jean, il sogno di una vita, e Royce, un vagabondo. I tre si ritrovano in un mondo avventuroso, dove la vita, la morte e l’amore assumono nuovi significati. In questo romanzo on the road, le emozioni si intrecciano in un caleidoscopio di follie narrative. La realtà e la magia si confondono, creando un universo in cui tutto sembra possibile. I sogni si mescolano alla vita reale, e le strade conducono esattamente dove si deve andare. Il tono ironico ricorda altri maestri texani, come Larry McMurtry, mentre l'assurdità della narrazione porta alla mente Thomas Pynchon.

Het hartverscheurende memoir vertelt het verhaal van Tami Oldham en haar verloofde Richard Sharp, die vanuit Tahiti zeilen onder een stralende blauwe lucht, met San Diego als eindbestemming. Minder dan twee weken in hun reis worden ze echter geconfronteerd met een van de meest catastrofale orkanen in de geschiedenis. Ze moeten vechten tegen zware regen, golven ter grootte van wolkenkrabbers en winden van 140 knopen. Richard bindt zichzelf aan de boot en stuurt Tami naar beneden voor haar veiligheid, waarna het stil wordt. Uren later ontwaakt Tami om te ontdekken dat de boot in puin ligt en Richard nergens te bekennen is. Adrift is het verhaal van Tami's wonderbaarlijke reis van eenenveertig dagen naar veiligheid op een verwoeste boot zonder motor en zonder masten, met weinig hoop op redding. Het is een verhaal van liefde en overleving op zee - een onvergetelijk verhaal over de veerkracht van de menselijke geest en de transcendente kracht van liefde.

On a journey that will take them to Tibet, Nepal, China, Venice, and Siberia, the Fargos will find themselves embroiled with black market fossils, an ancient Tibetan kingdom, a lost landmass in the North Sea, stone-age ostrich egg shards inscribed in a cryptic language, a pair of battles separated by thousands of miles and hundreds of years...... and a skeleton that could just turn the history of human evolution on its head.
