[ATDrake]

Cosmic Banditos by A. C. Weisbecker (ISFDB, Wikipedia) his standalone comedic speculative literary fiction sfnal adventure novel which was apparently a cult classic back in the day, featuring a zany romp through quantum physics concepts via the perspective of former drug-smugglers turned muggers who thereby unexpectedly acquire a visiting tourist Professor's physics texts and postcards from his daughter, leading them on a strange journey (which may include time travel, if the categories are accurate) of self-discovery to track the owners down and argue their newly-acquired theories of relativity, as you do, free for a limited time courtesy of publisher Endeavour Press' Venture imprint.

This was originally published in 1986 by Vintage Books and was later reprinted by New American Library in 2001 as a revised New Edition with a retrospective introduction, which is what Endeavour is reprinting for us now.

Description
Cosmic banditos: a contrabandista’s quest for the meaning of life.

Mr. Quark is a down-on-his-luck pot smuggler hiding out in the mountains of Colombia with his dog, High Pockets, and a small band of banditos led by the irascible but intensely loyal José.

Only months before, these three and their fearless associates were rolling in millions in cash and high-grade marijuana, eluding prosecution on “ridiculously false” drug and terrorism charges. But times have quickly grown lean, and to liven up their exile, José decides to mug a family of American tourists.

Among the spoils are physics texts, belonging to a Professor who works at the University of California and postcards written by his daughter Tina.

Mr Quark starts to read about Quantum Theory and Time Travel whilst forming a unique perspective on Tina’s love life. He sets off on a wide-ranging quest, trying to track her down by any means possible.

What follows is a sidesplitting, boisterous adventure north to California, involving Operation Looney Tune, destiny, friendship and a pilot named Flash who insists on flying at low altitude.

When Quark miraculously arrives in California he confronts the owner of the books with his own theories on relativity, the nature of the universe, and looking for the meaning of life in all the wrong places...

Cosmic Banditos is a bestselling and beloved novel featuring quantum physics, frolics and fun from renowned author A. C. Weisbecker.

Nothing like a story with good old-fashioned stereotypes!

I think I'll get this and put it next to my pipe.
