The book will take you on a journey and leave you wondering: how could he pull off these scams in total coolness, with nerves of steel, yet at the same time leave the reader in a drippy, sweaty shirt, nerves all fried to hell.
A few issues ago we reviewed a decent game Drug Pusher that allows you to become a virtual pusher online. Now, thanks to Jay Carter Brown you may vicariously live the flashy, risky lifestyle of a drug smuggler as you rip thru Smuggler’s Blues: The Saga of a Marijuana Importer. Brown allows us a glimpse into his high stress career choice as he hauls and supplies Montreal with some of the best product to ever enter. With the names changed to protect the guilty, Brown allows the reader to ride shotgun during the illegal runs. You also get to witness how the hard-earned street money is spent, as some of Canada’s smartest mules burn through their profits.
Friend and foe become the same, as Brown introduces you to some of the heavy, underworld figures he has to deal with and trust as his exploits unfold. In a world where loyalty is so highly coveted, you can only find it second to your partner’s profit margin and his own ass. The reader learns quickly that in the smuggling trade, the law is the least of your worries. Your so-called friends and associates are your major stumbling block between living life large on the outside, or behind bars for some major, government assisted vacation time. In many cases, SB describes how some shady characters skipped the strong hand of the law and instead are dealt a swift dose of reality. Figures are taken out without the aid of the courts, but with tombstone bullets ending the partnerships and double-crossings that seem to be the mainstay of the profession.
