Great

Love the story and the characters. Reader is wonderful and voice is great to listen to

my favorite by far

I have to say this was my favorite of the Mac Travis series. I have to give kudos to Becker. Often a series will start to drag or just run out of steam. That hasn't happened here at all. Wood's Revenge has Mac, Mel and their entourage of interesting characters taking on the sugar industry. This bit of realism is definitely not preachy. It's just informative enough that it adds to the story. It was especially interesting to me as some of the past events described impacted my life.

This opens up with us finding out that Wood's off-grid island was repaired (Yay!) and is now being lived in by Mac and Mel (at least part-time for Mel). Trufante and Pamela are living life as only they can. Each time I start one of these books and the Cajun Trufante enters the picture, I have to grin. Trufante wants to take care of Pamela so he takes on a job that he shouldn't. Yes, this is nothing new for Trufante but this job opens up Mac and Mel's eyes to how the poor practices within the sugar industry are affecting the ecosystem. I love that we see Mel in her element as an activist lawyer. The Venn diagram of how the sugar industry, fishing and Mac's home all overlap is explored with great writing by Steven Becker.

Steven Becker and Paul J. McSorley are a great combination. If like me, you've progressed this far through the audiobook series then you'll appreciate the consistency of McSorley's character voices. He narrates all of Becker's books and the two of them are a great combination.

Great Book

Another great book in the series. The narrator done a great job telling the. I would recommend this book to anyone

One of the best

The author does a fabulous job tying in a major real world problem affecting the Everglades and surrounded ecosystems keeping it exciting enough to keep you hooked, but factual enough to paint the reality.
