In 1996, Allan Weisbecker sold his home and his possessions, loaded his dog and surfboards into his truck, and set off in search of his long-time surfing companion, Patrick, who had vanished into the depths of Central America. In this rollicking memoir of his quest from Mexico to Costa Rica to unravel the circumstances of Patrick's disappearance, Weisbecker intimately describes the people he befriended, the bandits he evaded, the waves he caught and lost en route to finding his friend. In Search of Captain Zero is, according to Outside magazine, "A subtly affecting tale of friendship and duty. [It] deserves a spot on the microbus dashboard as a hell of a cautionary tale about finding paradise and smoking it away." In Search of Captain Zero: A Surfer's Road Trip Beyond the End of the Road is a Booksense 76 Top Ten selection for September/October.

When Jeb has all his belongings stolen on the primary avenue of San Jose, Costa Rica, something is sparked inside him. He is given the option of returning to his home in the United States of America, but for schizophrenic reasons, he can't seem to accept his situation, or the embassy's help. Instead, he makes a crucial decision to travel by bus northward through Central America and into Mexico. He hopes he will make it back to America, but he has a limited amount of money and a temporary passport that could expire if he doesn't travel in a timely manner. Through this sojourn, Jeb comes to believe that people are conspiring to kill him. His understanding of humanity becomes skewed. He no longer wants to live, but he doesn't want to die. He is battling something deep inside him, so far beneath the surface of his mind, that he can't seem to face his reality. Ultimately, Jeb is left with a choice. He can remain a homeless, penniless bum on the streets of some nameless city in Guatemala, or he can fight for his life.
