Tourist season is swinging into high gear in Miami. So are the activities of a bizarre terrorist group determined to keep the hapless "snowbirds" away. Armed with bombs, weed, and jumbled credos, they move toward their grand target, the Orange Bowl Parade, with plans to bring Miami and its tourist trade to a halt.
The cast, which includes a deranged journalist, a visionary ex-jock, and a lovesick detective, is just the kind of company Carl Hiaasen's fans love to keep. Narrator George Wilson's performance lures each quirky character out into the full light of the Florida sun. With over half a million copies in print, this is one of Hiaasen's most popular works.

Critic reviews
"Reading a Hiaasen book is always a high-speed boat ride where laughter can turn to horror and disaster at any moment. Hearing the story aloud adds a dose of realism and sensation....Wilson's narration is perfectly timed, laid-back, and salty." (AudioFile)

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes. As in all of Hiassen's work, the storytelling is superb.What did you like best about this story?
Characters. Hiassen creates an entirely new set of characters for this story. You can relate to just about all of them, even the antagonists. The assault on 'conventional' Florida attitudes and residents is succinct and to the point. You never have to guess where they stand. Promotes environmental issues, like most Hiassen books.What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?
The performance was about average.If you could rename Tourist Season, what would you call it?
Either "Lost in Florida" or "The Life and Times of Daniel "Viceroy" Wilson"Any additional comments?
Couldn't stop listening. Fantastic book.Hiassen at his best

To all the people who complained about the 'N word, allow me to explain: I lean farther to the left the than many people do. As in, left of liberal. Furthermore, I'm Native American. I have not complained about the use of the word 'Indian' in reference to Seminoles, as the characters making these statements did so in 1986 and were, shall we say, unenlightened. I noticed NONE of the complaints mentioned the word 'Honky', which is also a racial slur. Are people honestly more tolerant now than they were in 1986? Is it fair to rate a book poorly because certain characters actually thought and spoke this way? NO to both questions.
Hilarious first novel! Still relevant in 2021
