Synopsis

It began peacefully enough, on one of Florida's private islands.At a reception hosted by a notorious Russian black marketeer, Doc Ford uses darkness, and his friend Tomlinson, as cover to get an underwater look at the billionaire's yacht. By the time Ford surfaces, everything has changed.Environmental extremists have taken control of the island. Or are they thugs hired by the Russian's competitors? Whatever the motive, they have herded everyone together and threatened to kill one hostage every hour until midnight unless their demands are met-at which point they will just blow everybody up.Electronic jammers make communications with the outside world impossible. The only hope of avoiding terrible consequences: 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.

This is the slowest, boringest, most verbose, least actionpacked action thriller that I have ever listened to. I am actually a Doc Ford fan, and I only got to the 3rd CD before I gave up. Plot? Some weird sturgeon poachers gathered to kill off the competition on a private Florida island. Yawn Cast? Nobody you will like. Caricatures that the worst 30minute Saturday morning cartoon would have passed on. Even Doc Ford comes across as a boring pedantI never knew there was so much about caviar production that I really didnt care about. Action? It takes 3 CDs to get from 10:30pm to midnight which were chasing, right?. Save yourself! Dont bother.

Goodreads review by Jack on October 25, 2019

3 Stars. My first time with Doc Ford. It wasn't as exciting as some first dates, but there was something. Next I'll try an earlier volume in the series. Number ones are hard to find, but it's a good challenge. He wangles an invite to a reception on a beautiful yacht anchored near Vanderbilt Island o......more

Goodreads review by Theo on March 13, 2012

White releases a new Doc Ford book every March, and I've been looking forward to them for years. This one, however, disappointed me. It starts with narrative, and that's all you get for a long time. There's very little action, very little dialogue. It's not until the last fourth of the novel that thi......more

Goodreads review by Jim on April 02, 2012

Randy Wayne White is back in great form. After a couple of lackluster performances, he has stormed back with an exciting and gripping tale with Doc Ford and Tomlinson. The action sets up in the first chapter and doesn't stop until the end. Randy Wayne White once said about writing, "Monday, Tuesday,......more
