Rum, Reggae and Columbus

Rum, Reggae and Columbus is a fresh and frolicsome account of the author’s cruise around the western Caribbean. Akhil Bakshi’s ceaseless imagination, his scattergun prejudices and jokes, his enthusiasm for exposing the wickedness of vile leaders comes alive in every page. Sit back and enjoy the explorations of the geographically-disoriented Columbus; the still-prevailing practice of voodoo; the haunted mansion of lusty and murderous Anne Mae in Montego Bay; the creative explosions of Jamaican music; stories of plundering pirates and thieving politicians; the mystery of Mayan appearance in Mexico; and adventures with marine life in the emerald inlets of Yucatan. It is a delightful work that both amuses and educates the reader.
