Synopsis

This is based on true stories that took place not so long ago on the coast of Honduras after a huge tropical storm. Three friends found a 52 gallon barrel on the beach; at first no one knew what it contained. Few thought that it was clandestine whisky and began to sample it and as a consequence, many died in ways not describable. The survivors called the tragedy "Kill Me Quick." A young man left the village to find a job to save money to build a boat so his people could connect with the rest of the world. In his journey he lost a leg when he got drunk after he was notified of his wife's death. After waking out of a coma, he came home to an emotional return to start building the boat that eventualy served his people for more than forty years until his death in 1973. When his second boat sank about a half-mile from the shores, he and more than fifty people died in shark infested water; not one body washed to shore, though three survived.

Rene M. Batiz born in Honduras. He is now a citizen of the United States, residing with his wife and childrens in the city of Los Angeles. He is a college graduate with degrees in accounting and computer programming, and is a licensed real estate agent and Insurance Professional."As a child I carefully listened to stories told by my mother and other people about what happen to those that sampled the liquid found inside a barrel and the nightmare that followed; it was then that I began to formulate a way to tell the story to the world.I met and was a neighbor to some that survived the tragedy and witnessed the effect that still was with them.It is most important to connect the pieces together and bring to reality the story that will touch the soul of the reader; Kill Me Quick is one of those rare books."
