Description

In the new novel from New York Times bestselling author Randy Wayne White, Doc Ford is the only hope for an island of hostages.
 
On one of Florida’s private islands, a notorious Russian black marketer is hosting a reception. Doc Ford only wanted to get an underwater look at the billionaire’s yacht. But when he surfaces, he gets a look at something he’d rather not see.

A group of violent, armed men have taken control of the island, their true identity unknown. Whatever the motive, they threaten to kill the hostages one by one unless their demands are met—after which they might kill everyone anyway.

Communications from the island have been cut off, and Ford knows he has to act. Luckily, the militants do not know Ford’s capabilities, or that he is still on the loose. But that situation won’t last for long…and the clock is ticking.

    Very fast paced story. Hard to put down

    This, so far, is my least favorite of the Doc Ford series. The lack of character development in the beginning plus the clumsy switching from present to past left me confused. I will continue to be an avid reader, but this book was a disappointment.

    Who wrote this really? Boring, long winded and implausible to the extreme. I have enjoyed all the prior Doc Ford books, but had to force myself to finish this one.

  • Over the Top

    I've liked a number of White's Doc Ford books, but the plot, the characters and the action in this one are ridiculous! Everything about the book is so over the top that it could be a parody if there was some humor in it (there isn't). Don't waste your time or money on it.

    I wasn't too impressed with this Doc Ford novel and I have read most of them. Too long-winded. Not much in the way of action. Randy had written much better!!

  • Not his usual standard

    After reading all earlier Doc Ford books and enjoying the sharp and clear, if quirky, storylines, I found this one, like the one which preceeded it, dull, and padded out with details not really important. I would not recommend this book .

    ...& reality. Sigh, it sure seems like RWW is reaching. He's straying too far a field from his MacDonald-ian influence. It seems to me that the additional effort required to weave in complexity, depth of character, emotional/philosophical turmoil & any semblance of plausibility has given way to bland, crank 'em out commercialism. Sigh (again), sad because his early works were truly worthy of heir apparent status. Way to drop the JDMac reins in favor of a style more closely resembling Stan Lee.

  • This was the worst

    Randy Wayne White book I ever read!! I have been an enthusiastic reader of White's books since he began writing Doc Ford novel. They have always been thrill packed page turners. Until now. This book made no sense to me; the story did not at all resonate with me. Don't waste your time or money on this one!!!

  • Another great Doc Ford adventure

    Keeping true to his other books, Randy Wayne-White's Doc Ford had another adventure that kept me reading. I love the way that he keeps the human factor in everything Ford tries to do. Not making him a super hero keeps it real.

    Randy Wayne White penned a thrill ride. Character development was good with a few unexpected surprises. Nice job RWW!
