In 1973, two Vietnam vets, with an appetite for wanderlust and high adventure, set out to map and explore the uncharted territory of Knowhere. Beginning in Tacoma, WA they saddle up with a quirky and implausible agenda: head south, all the way south, to the point where there is no more south, to the South Pole. So begins the saga of Ace of Space and his point-man, King Richard The Last. Road Scholars is a modern day odyssey bursting with harrowing escapades. Their travels lead them into the fold of the Costa Rican mafia, an encounter with a Mayan sorceress, and a new age catholic priest. The story's exploits are a backdrop for the underlying mission of self-discovery and the unveiling of the greatest enigma of all, the purpose of life's journey. Their unbound spirit dares where few have trekked for they are stoned philosophers searching for the Philosopher's Stone.
