Work detailsChasing Midnight by Randy Wayne White (2012)
None. I won this book on goodreads. It is the first book I have read by Randy Wayne White. The book supplies plenty of suspense. I liked what I believe to be the regular characters, Doc Ford and Tomlinson. It would be great to add additional characters to this series. I plan to learn more about Doc Ford and Tomlinson by reading Mr. White's earlier Doc Ford Suspense novels. (  ) txblaize | Apr 27, 2013 |  I used to love these books. . I have read everyone of them over the years. But, they are not what they were. I felt like I was reading a tech manual for guerilla warfare at times. The story line jumps all over the place. And it went on and on and on. (  ) librarian1204 | Apr 26, 2013 | I, like other readers, felt somewhat letdown by this book. (  ) aletasullivan | Apr 14, 2013 |  This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.Unlike earlier Doc Ford books this one doesn't really bring forward other characters and I sense little of the ambiance of the area as in the past and he seems to heading to darker days. I will still move forward and read the next. (  )1  Mendoza | Sep 5, 2012 | This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.Let me begin by saying Randy Wayne White is an author that I enjoying reading especially because he lives and writes about Florida. This is the fourteenth book I have read by this author. For the positive things about this narrative – Doc Ford attends a special party on an exclusive Floridian island and meets several interesting people involved in the caviar industry. I really enjoyed learning about the caviar industry and discovered many interesting details about this expensive food delicacy. This was a strange storyline that combined this exotic food, proposed new developments in the reproduction of sturgeon and their caviar and the environmental extremists who so crazy that they are hard to believe. Throw into this the tension of explosions, a ticking timetable, unusual black marketers and so many double crosses who could keep it all straight. Too many to follow. I look forward to Randy Wayne White next book with Doc Ford’s old compatriots. ( ) memasmb | Jul 1, 2012 | no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0399158316, Hardcover)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. (retrieved from Amazon Fri, 04 Jan 2013 02:21:10 -0500) Sneaking an underwater look at a notorious Russian black marketeer's fancy yacht, Doc Ford emerges to discover that the marketeer's private island has been taken over by environmental extremists who threaten to kill a hostage every hour until their demands are met.… (more) (summary from another edition) |
