Resumen del Editor

Florida Book Award winner

Doc Ford wrestles more than one kind of demon in this stunning novel from the New York Times-best-selling author. Many dangers lurk in the deep—the worst of them are human.

Thirty minutes into what should have been an easy, beginner-level dive in a remote Florida lake, the rim of a cave collapses, trapping two of Doc Ford's friends. Ford himself manages to escape and quickly surfaces to find help - but that's when his troubles only begin. Two men are waiting for him on the shore, and they are not the kind of men you want to meet at any time. Murderers and ex-cons, they're intent on diving to the bottom of the very deep lake and uncovering the remains of a legendary plane wreck there, supposedly loaded with Cuban treasury gold. Ford's ex­pertise is just what they need. And if he doesn't want to help? He can die. His friends? They can die, too. In fact, they can die right now.

As the hours tick away, two mortal struggles unfold simulta­neously, one above and one below. Neither outcome is certain, no man is safe. And in the deep shadow, only death awaits.

The doctor is in: listen to more of our Doc Ford thrillers.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"[A] nail-biter that's virtually impossible to put down." (Publishers Weekly)

Hmmm, maybe abridged

If you could sum up Deep Shadow in three words, what would they be?

To much fill

If you’ve listened to books by Randy Wayne White before, how does this one compare?

5 out of a possible 10 compared to his other works.

Have you listened to any of George Guidall’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

George is always awesome...

Any additional comments?

A good story, However I think the book was written and a publisher said... Mr. White we need more words... so the fill started.... Over all still a good listen...

Deep Shadow

Always enjoy Doc Ford.
George Guidall is an excellent story teller although I preferred Dick Hill.
George makes Doc sound like he is in his 70's.

Deep Shadow

Loved it! Master story teller and his characters make South Florida come alive again. Reveals the huge problem of invasive species impact on our delicate ecology.

Loved it!

loved the story and the narrator is my favorite. may be the best he has wrote.

Kinda sad

Not RWWS best effort. A short story stretched . Guessing he hit his word count.

You'll hold your breath!

Best book yet though I held my breath for much of the book! High anxiety!!

good one

I enjoyed the storyline, the character development and the writing. This is one of the better books in the series in my opinion.

Doc Ford Does It Again

As a long time fan reading the Doc Ford stories, I thought I would try an audio version. The story itself was on par with most of the novels, while being a tad uneven. The story is simple enough, Doc and friends go scuba diving only to mixed up with a couple of killers looking for a means to escape the law. What transpires provides enough intrigue and drama to maintain your interest.

I found the narration clear enough, but voice of the narrator sounds just a little to folksy for my taste. For me, it just did not work for Doc Ford.

Excellent adventure with outstanding narration

You can listen to this audiobook on its own, but don't be surprised when you find yourself buying more stories in the series. As usual, George Guidall's wonderful narration adds depth to the characters, giving each character his own voice and personality.

A different Doc Ford story

It's set in central Florida for the most part. The story switches between some crazy escapees and Doc in a small inland lake. The story brought you in fast and held you until the end.
