About the Author
Randy Wayne White is the author of seventeen previous Doc Ford novels and four collections of nonfiction. He lives in an old house built on an Indian mound in Pineland, Florida.
From AudioFile
Doc Ford fans are likely to be disappointed by the audio version of White's latest marine adventure. Both the plot and reading are as mediocre and ambiguous as the book's title, which is the name of the sunken ship that this adventure is built around. After a Category Four hurricane hits the Florida coast, Ford and his crew are talked into hunting for that ship, lost in a storm in 1944. The woman who persuades them claims that her lover disappeared at the same time as the ship. Henry Strozier, has an interesting voice but one better suited to nonfiction. His voice tends makes his characters sound older (and more feeble) than perhaps intended. A.L.H. © AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hardback. Condition: Good. Imagine hurricane winds over the Sahara Desert, preceded by a cavalry of tornadoes. Imagine dunes flattened, then resculpted. Then imagine all that at the bottom of the sea. A Category 4 hurricane has swept the west coast of Florida, creating havoc, changing lives, and reshaping the ocean bottom. Well-known reefs and wrecks have been covered--and new ones have emerged. From one such wreck, marine biologist Doc Ford and his friends make a chance discovery that will have a monumental effect--a cluster of mysterious objects that lead to an equally mysterious woman and her ancient, gray-gabled estate of a beach house. The woman weaves a haunting story of a loved one lost, and her chance to uncover the truth if Ford will help salvage the boat, named Dark Light, which sank without explanation in the hurricane of 1944. Intrigued, Ford agrees, and begins a chain of events that will change his life forever. For there are other things in that wreck as well, and other men who want them, men willing to commit terrible acts. And the woman herself--the woman is not what she seems. . . . Filled with passion and vivid, pungent prose and some of the best characters in suspense fiction, Dark Light is a thriller of uncommon intensity. Seller Inventory # 00107307200
