For those wanting more laughs at the misadventures of Tim and Hect comes the second in the series, "There is a Generation II." In 1950s America the start of a great culture shift began. Those boys and girls who one day would upend society still played cowboys and Indians, war, or hopscotch. Their parents, who spent the latter forties celebrating after the gloom of the Great Depression and World War II, had by the middle of the next decade all but partied-out, but not so their privileged kids. In the aftermath of Tim and Hect's escapades in "There Is a Generation," the two boys took different paths. Hect disappeared into the Mexican desert, last seen heading for a mysterious location known ominously as the "Camp." Tim returned home, to find his mother dismayed with her son's antics and ready to teach him a lesson of a lifetime. Only, what's to be done with a willful rebel in 1950s West Texas? Why not do what every other frustrated parent does with their bad seeds and ship him off to the George S. Patton Military Academy? Those World War II hardened instructors will teach the little mischief-maker some discipline. The idea sounds abhorrent to Tim, though, who decides it's time he skip town, head to Juarez, Mexico where he'd last seen Hect, and find his best friend. Unknown to Tim, however, Hect has been shanghaied by a cult militia and indoctrinated. He now despises those born rich, including his onetime best friend. As Tim and Hect wind up butting ideological heads, the two boys are forced to take part in a dangerous mission, one which will see them coping with a delusional psychopath, a desert wasteland, and a hostile Mexican army. Chances are they both will wind up dead. Maybe spending a few years in a Texas military school might not have been such a bad idea after all.
