Rebels Without a Retirement Plan: Hit the Road, Break the Rules (The Silver Bandits Chronicles Book 5)
About
When the Silver Bandits hit the highway in a caravan of RVs, one thing is guaranteed: the open road has no idea what’s coming. Hank, Jackie, Lenny, Merry, and Mabel are back—louder, braver, funnier, and even less prepared than usual—as they embark on a cross-country goodwill tour designed to bring joy, snacks, and mild chaos to every small town they pass. Unfortunately for America, they succeed spectacularly.
What begins as a heartwarming road trip quickly turns into a rolling disaster parade complete with campsite turf wars, malfunctioning awnings, karaoke catastrophes, suspicious fudge, and a flamingo population that grows for reasons nobody will admit. Hank argues with GPS systems. Jackie wrestles with campground politics. Lenny spirals into map-induced panic. Merry befriends questionable street performers. Mabel bakes enough snacks to feed a national park and still runs out by Tuesday.
But the real trouble strikes hundreds of miles away.
While the Bandits are busy confusing roadside attractions, a slick developer back home threatens to demolish Sunnyvale Gardens and replace it with “luxury urban condos” no resident asked for. When the Bandits hear the rumors—mid-breakdown, mid-repair, mid-screaming—their goodwill tour transforms into a race against time. Their beloved home is in danger, and the only people chaotic enough to save it are currently stuck in a parking lot trying to figure out who unplugged the RV fridge.
And then… there’s Gloria.
Sunnyvale’s legendary gold golf cart suffers a tragic “mechanical incident,” sparking the emotional arc no Bandit was ready for. But Gloria isn’t just a vehicle—she’s family. When she’s rebuilt on the road in a dusty workshop filled with flamingos, tools, and Mabel’s emotional cookie bribery, the Bandits regain something far more powerful than horsepower: hope.
With Gloria reborn and the RVs roaring, the Bandits tear back toward Sunnyvale Gardens to mount the most ridiculous, heartfelt, community-powered rebellion in retirement history. Construction crews, beware. HOA, brace yourself. Developer, rethink your life choices. The Bandits are coming home—and they brought snacks, flamingos, and absolutely no respect for traffic laws.
