Summary: TALES FROM ON THE SURFACE
Comment: "The road goes on forever, and the party never ends..." These lyrics by singer/songwriter Robert Earl Keen were the fuel for Monroe Fisher's trek around the world. From the trail of Lewis and Clark to the Alaskan Highway, from the Ivory Coast to the Mosquito Coast and from the Arctic Circle to the Grand Island of Tierra del Fuego, Monroe takes us to places that most only dream of visiting. Throughout Monroe's first book TALES FROM ON THE SURFACE we are introduced to all types of characters including Presidents, scientists, explorers and the Great Train Robber. These characters along with the numerous travel sights and the cultural anecdotes transport the reader to the authors side. Make no mistake, this is not a tourist guide, Monroe's adventures take us to countries where terrorism is a part of the everyday happenings. For those of us who are not able to travel abroad, Monroe gives us the opportunity to go with him, and for those who can...the road goes on forever.

Summary: Tales from on the Surface
Comment: I had listened to Julian Monroe Fisher's weekly radio show called 'Monroe's Talkabout the World' on The JohnBoy and Billy Radio Network for the last several years. I had also kept up with Mr. Fisher's travels through his Internet website editions.... And although his radio show and website are excellent, his new book is absolutely fabulous. It takes the reader to some of the most exotic locations on the planet with stories that are so exciting that it's hard to put the book down. And it's all about stuff that really happened. I especially liked the story entitled 'Travels with Roy Smith' about Mr. Fisher's adventures in Belize. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in exploring the world at large!!

Summary: Tales From On The Surface by Julian Monroe Fisher
Comment: We had the pleasure of meeting Monroe on a recent vacation, and knew we had to read his book after hearing him talk about some of his adventures. The tales are exciting and interesting--if one can get past the incredible grammatical and spelling errors throughout the book. The editing is positively nonexistent. In fact, it reads as though Monroe printed up his travel notes without even rereading them! I don't know who "Big Top Publishing" is, but their reputation is on the line with this one.
