Luck of the Devil: My Life as a Drug Smuggler
Luck of the Devil is the REAL story of what actually happened "behind the scenes" in the world of drug smuggling in the 1970's and 1980's as told by someone who actually lived it. If you ever wondered what the life of a smuggler was REALLY like, not as it's portrayed on TV and in Film, then Luck of the Devil will open your eyes to the seedy underside of one of the most lucrative and profitable businesses in the world.

What an egotistical rant.
The entire book tries to glamorize drug dealing while calling it just a business. Using for an excuse that more people are killed by alcohol and cigarettes is just plain ignorant. How many lives are ruined by drugs? How many people are killed over drugs or by people on drugs? Drug dealers are scum and live like parasites on the misery of others.
This is just the story of one more scumbag that spent his life stealing, lying, cheating on his wife, breaking the law and not earning an honest dollar. Drug dealing in the military is not something to be proud of.
Time to go delete this crap from my library.

Fun for All.
This book is the life long story of a guy who went from being a smoker to a smuggler. He managed to smuggle pot and cocaine into America for over 30 years.
Not a great writer but still an interesting story none the less.
I recommend it for anyone interested in the American drug business.

Terrible formatting made it very difficult to read. This guy has some stories but is not going to win any father or husband of-the-year awards. He is a drug user, dealer, smuggler and thief. I can't find anything good to say about him or his book.

oh please.
Junior high level writing & third grade story telling. There are some great smugglers bios out there, this ain’t one of them.

Interesting, but poorly written
The story was confusing,our of chronological order and tough to follpw, major holes left unfilled. But it was interesting in my opinion

Wow
This is a true story about the world of drugs in the 1970's and the 1980's. Follow Jack Collins' exploits through the world of a smuggler.
