Description

"We'll drop anything we're doing [for] a new Randy White novel and be glad we did." (Denver Post)

Randy Wayne White's ninth Doc Ford novel starts out as a fun excursion for four divers off the Florida coast. Two days later only one is found alive - naked atop a light tower in the Gulf of Mexico. What happened during those 48 hours? Doc Ford thinks he's prepared for the truth. He isn't.

    I have gone back to the beginning, ready all of the Doc Ford books. This one is my favorites (so far). It was a very different story line than the others, which were getting repetitive. We learn a lot about the mindset of the character and who is the real "Marion" Ford. It has great dialogue, action, and passion. Most importantly it doesn't drag out any of them just as space filler. The book flows nicely. Now on to Everglades!

  • Fine for what it's supposed to be

    White's at his best when he's writing about areas of his own expertise--Sanibel, the Gulf, and things nautical. As a thriller-adventure story it's pretty good. Character development fairly weak, especially women characters. Ignore that and enjoy the action & his love of Florida.

    Randy Wayne White typically writes a good story, filled with interesting characters and plenty of authentic detail. Unfortunately, this time out, he ruins his story with seemingly interminable lectures on environmental politics. White does a ham-handed job of putting the storytelling on hold to serve up page after page after page of anti-manatee propaganda. I'm a boater, and I work in the boat building industry, and it was even too much for me! Hey Randy, if the manatees are doing so great, why are individual animals identified in aerial surveys by the scars left by boat propellers? Sorry, but the sermonizing does nothing but detract from the story. Support catch and release, and throw this one back.
