The Mystery of Jaguar Reef is a radio drama, produced in 1996 by the ZBS Foundation [1]. It is the tenth of the Jack Flanders adventure series. It combines elements of Americana and Old-time radio with themes of pirates and aliens.

Plot

Jack gets a call from his old friend Carmen (from Dreams of Rio) and is very concerned about her friend, Cassie, who it seems has become a "walk-in" while they were on holiday in Belize. She has left her body and a total stranger has moved-in. Sounds like the sort of problem only Jack Flanders can help with, except he seems to find the new Cassie very captivating. Soon others are changing too - and it always seems to happen after they've hired the genial Captain Coco to take them diving around Jaguar Reef. Between a ship-load of cosmic Popeyes, a barrel of ancient and highly potent Viper Rum and some alien missionaries - Jack's got his work cut out.

Notes & Themes

This is much of the feel of The Incredible Adventures of Jack Flanders in this story - plenty of pirates - ancient and modern, flying ships and mix of cosmic and reality bending occurrences.

Captain Coco refers to Jack several times as 'Captain Jack'.

This is the only Jack Flanders story to involve aliens.

Quotes

Jack: "This is the next to the last straw. Hands me that can of cosmic spinach. I loves me spinach." [2]
