Cuba Straits

De: Randy Wayne White

Narrado por: George Guidall

The remarkable new novel in the Doc Ford series by New York Times–bestselling author Randy Wayne White.

Doc Ford’s old friend, General Juan Garcia, has gone into the lucrative business of smuggling Cuban baseball players into the U.S. He is also feasting on profits made by buying historical treasures for pennies on the dollar. He prefers what dealers call HPC items—high-profile collectibles—but when he manages to obtain a collection of letters written by Fidel Castro between 1960–62 to a secret girlfriend, it’s not a matter of money anymore. Garcia has stumbled way out of his depth.

First Garcia disappears, and then the man to whom he sold the letters. When Doc Ford begins to investigate, he soon becomes convinced that those letters contain a secret that someone, or some powerful agency, cannot allow to be made public.

A lot happened between Cuba and the United States from 1960–62. Many men died. A few more will hardly be noticed.

Reseñas de la Crítica

Praise for BONE DEEP

“White keeps the action churning forward as Doc encounters both human and animal foes, but the real interest here is the archaeological backdrop. Masterfully seeding the plot with information on Florida’s ancient natural history—and its contemporary environmental challenges—White delivers a novel that perfectly blends story and landscape. We often say that fine nonfiction has the narrative drive of a good thriller, but we rarely have occasion to say that a fine thriller has all the mind-boggling fascination of compelling nonfiction.”––Booklist (starred review)

“A descent into the world of overzealous and unethical fossil collectors leads to a boat-napping, stolen artifacts, and increasingly dire threats . . . White does a fine job detailing Florida’s unique history and geography.”––Publishers Weekly

Praise for NIGHT MOVES

“Fans will still be riveted by Ford and Hannah’s tango-like mating dance. And the climax is a corker, too. Over his last several Doc Ford novels, White has vaulted to mainstream bestseller status. This one is likely to maintain the pattern.”—Booklist

“Captivating . . . [an] intriguing installment.”—Publishers Weekly

“White weaves in and out of the two mysteries — the murder attempt and Flight 19 — telling the story with the same tight, vivid prose his fans have come to expect. The result is another strong addition to one of crime fiction’s most consistent series.”—Associated Press

“Drawing on his usual mix of science, ecology and Florida lore, White reels in an exciting story in "Night Moves” . . . [the novel] illustrates why, after 20 novels, Ford's double life and White's attention to the Florida scenery continue to intrigue readers.”—South Florida Sun-Sentinel

So many great characters

The only thing RWW writes better than main character dialogue is the villains he introduces each novel. I HATED the villain in this book which means “mission accomplished”

More laughs as well as action.

Very entertaining. Fast paced. Lots of unexpected chuckles along the way! This book is Ford stepping back enough to allow for a little more Tomlinson. That's always good!

Not White's best

Story was confusing and almost pointless. Saved by George Guidall's narration. Have listened to whole series and this was not his best. For fans of series only.

I wish it wasn't over

I am really not well versed as I should be about Cuba, and because of that I wasn't as eager as usual to purchase the next RWW book. I was however delighted and "hooked" from the beginning. DELIGHTFUL and INTRIGUING!! Thank you Randy. Now get back to work on the next book.

Always entertaining .

Fast moving, great characters and narration by Mr Guidall makes for a pleasurable listen Always adds some interesting historical facts.

Disjointed

Who is extremely hard to keep up with the story there were too many crazy things going on but it was a good story after all

Doc ford is back

Great read. The story was very interesting and thought provoking. There were some humorous characters

Great listening

this intriguing story carried the listener through past memories of history and celebrated rumors never proven.

Great Story Line That Will Keep You Spellbound

Really liked this book as well as Goodell's performance. Well worth the listen. Brilliant imagination

Simply way too long to get going

First time with this series , and unimpressed. Characters were mostly caricatures, and the plot moved in multiple directions with little coherence. Marion "Doc" Ford was supposed to be the main character, but seemed a minor player. Had to keep deciding if it was worth continuing to listen. Second half better, more focused, but still a 3-star at best.
