A Doc Ford Novel, Book 26

De: Randy Wayne White

Narrado por: George Guidall

The sins of the past come back to haunt Doc Ford and his old friend Tomlinson in this thrilling new novel from New York Times best-selling author Randy Wayne White.

Marine biologist and former government agent Doc Ford is sure he's beyond the point of being surprised by his longtime pal Tomlinson's madcap tales of his misspent youth. But he's stunned anew when avowed bachelor Tomlinson reveals that as a younger man strapped for cash, he'd unwittingly fathered multiple children via for-profit sperm bank donations. Thanks to genealogy websites, Tomlinson's now-grown offspring have tracked him down, seeking answers about their roots...but Doc quickly grows suspicious that one of them might be planning something far more nefarious than a family reunion.

With recent history on his mind, Doc is unsurprised when his own dicey past is called into question. Months ago, he'd quietly "liberated" a cache of precious Spanish coins from a felonious treasure hunter, and now a number of unsavory individuals, including a disgraced IRS investigator and a corrupt Bahamian customs agent, are after their cut. Caught between watching his own back and Tomlinson's, Doc has no choice but to get creative - before rash past decisions escalate to deadly present-day dangers.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“[A] good time is had by all." (Kirkus Reviews)

"As always, the fruit of White's research - this time, on deep-sea treasure hunting, red tides, and the technique of 'confused insemination' - will hold readers rapt on its own, supported, of course, by Doc's good heart and Tomlinson's mercurial personality." (Booklist)

"Another rollicking adventure (and cliff-hanger ending) from White that will have them hooting.” (Florida Times-Union)

A great escape for the times our nation is experiencing!

Given the current landscape and times we live this tome was a worthy escape. Randy blended the correct amount of fact based science, sprinkled with human behavior to draw the reader or listener into a very believable yet compelling plot.

Well done Captain White.

Cheers

Michael T.

Another great book!

Thank you Randy for the wonderful books in the Doc Ford series. I also appreciate George Guidall's narration to the point that three of my four favorite authors use George as their narrator. I look forward to character development as this book ended on a high point. Thank you again!

Great read

another page Turner by Randy Wayne White,Doc Ford is a classic good guy but tough

great story

Easy to follow and love Doc Ford. Will watch for next one to come out.

Not bad, but not his best

Storyline kind of weird. I was a little disappointed after such a long wait.

ok but not grest

in the past I've enjoyed the stories. this one not so much. the production was below average. at one point it sounded like a new engineer was used, the voice quality changed so much. multiple pronunciations of towns and locations. story wise, the ending made no sense and without explanation for clarity. disappointing.

Another Great Doc Ford Read

I usually wait to read Doc Ford books until I am on a beach on Captiva, but given that it has been a long wait for this book, I caved in and listened to it right away. After so many years and books I still love Doc, his friends and crazy situations. But I also love the Floridian history and education. Having been on the islands during and after the horrid red tide it is nice to realize that nature will rebound. The ending caught me by surprise and I can’t wait for the next Doc Ford or Hannah Smith novel.

Great characters and setting

An OK addition to a great series. The narration is terrible. It sounds like they got a friend from the retirement community to do it.

Classic Randy Wayne White

I enjoyed this novel as I do all of RWW’s books. However, I am not a fan of the narrator. He sounds too mature for the part and his delivery is broken and sometimes disjointed. I just don’t think he’s the best fit. The storyline was good, as usual, and held my interest to the end. A good RWW novel but definitely not his best.

So good I listened twice

I listened to this book a year or so ago when I first started the Doc Ford series. At that point I didn't have a list of the books in their chronological order so this one was listened to out of order. I thought it was good the first time. It was even better after listening to most of the other books in the series.
