When Fidel Castro allows thousands of Cubans to depart for America in the Mariel Boatlift, he exports the worst criminals and undesirables of his country along with them. To monitor the situation, the... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Even though the names were different (author and hero) the background foundation for Doc Ford is unmistakable and fun to read. Can't wait to read "The Deadlier Sex" as the follow-up to this great begining for Randy (Striker) Wayne White. I also enjoyed White's present day introduction to this book.
Great adventure

White proves he has always had a knack for spinning a great story even when he was a relative beginner. Whether writing about Doc Ford or some other Travis McGee type hero his stories always entertain me.

Doc Ford is in fine form in this latest Randy Wayne White. Fans will happily find all their favorite people and places. This book reintroduces an old character, now dying and using Doc to finish his unfinished business. I love these books, I love Randy Wayne White's knowledge of these islands off the coast of Florida, the flora, fauna, and local color. You will not be disappointed in this one, which is exciting, violent and touching.

Fact #1 I am a big RWW fan. Fact #2 Randy Striker's ( aka RWW) books are not mentioned on the White web site. I read Hellhound's and M. Carolls' review of this book and decided to put it on my songline. If Randy wrote it I'm a goin' to read it.
Randy Wayne White Needs To Read This Book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Yes, I know. It's a dumb title for this review because Randy Wayne White wrote the thing. Why should he have to read it? Well, why INDEED! If he could inject this much action and excitement into his Doc Ford series we'd all be the beneficiaries...including him. I believe this is the third book in this series and all I can say is that I enjoyed the heck out of it. Very easy to read. Not a lot of characters to remember. Never dull. Even a little sex thrown into the mix. Try it, you'll like it.
