Welcome to the Monterey Peninsula you thought you knew, or imagined you did. Where skin divers, burned out businessmen, Carmel Valley farm kids and middle class families rub shoulders with ghosts, Russian fugitives, homicidal maniacs and doppelgangers. Where Dinosaur Town is just a midnight ride away. Where the hot tubs talk to each other. Where aliens threaten to overrun the human populace - in the future, at least. Yeah. That Monterey Peninsula. Twenty new stories by the authors' collective that brought you the original Monterey Shorts. Once again, all stories take place in and around the Monterey Peninsula, and span all mystery, fantasy, historical fiction, weird fiction and adventure. A must for all fans of the area. You do not have to buy the first volume to enjoy the second, although it adds to the richness of the reading experience as some characters span both volumes. On a crisp, beautiful fall day, Dr. John J. Ackerman, Emeritus Professor of Anthropology at Michigan State, got into his new Lexus, intending to stop at the Faculty Club and have a couple of drinks with the dean before going home. Time to begin their second journey.
