Salt River

By: Randy Wayne White

Narrated by: George Guidall

The sins of the past come back to haunt Doc Ford and his old friend Tomlinson in this thrilling new novel from New York Times-bestselling author Randy Wayne White.

Marine biologist and former government agent Doc Ford is sure he's beyond the point of being surprised by his longtime pal Tomlinson's madcap tales of his misspent youth. But he's stunned anew when avowed bachelor Tomlinson reveals that as a younger man strapped for cash, he'd unwittingly fathered multiple children via for-profit sperm bank donations. Thanks to genealogy websites, Tomlinson's now-grown offspring have tracked him down, seeking answers about their roots. . . but Doc quickly grows suspicious that one of them might be planning something far more nefarious than a family reunion.

With recent history on his mind, Doc is unsurprised when his own dicey past is called into question. Months ago, he'd quietly "liberated" a cache of precious Spanish coins from a felonious treasure hunter, and now a number of unsavory individuals, including a disgraced IRS investigator and a corrupt Bahamian customs agent, are after their cut. Caught between watching his own back and Tomlinson's, Doc has no choice but to get creative--before rash past decisions escalate to deadly present-day dangers.

Critic reviews

“[A] good time is had by all."—Kirkus Reviews

“As always, the fruit of White's research—this time, on deep-sea treasure hunting, red tides, and the technique of 'confused insemination'—will hold readers rapt on its own, supported, of course, by Doc's good heart and Tomlinson's mercurial personality.”—Booklist

“Another rollicking adventure (and cliff-hanger ending) from White that will have them hooting.”—Florida Times-Union

great story

Easy to follow and love Doc Ford. Will watch for next one to come out.

Not bad, but not his best

Storyline kind of weird. I was a little disappointed after such a long wait.

ok but not grest

in the past I've enjoyed the stories. this one not so much. the production was below average. at one point it sounded like a new engineer was used, the voice quality changed so much. multiple pronunciations of towns and locations. story wise, the ending made no sense and without explanation for clarity. disappointing.

A great escape for the times our nation is experiencing!

Given the current landscape and times we live this tome was a worthy escape. Randy blended the correct amount of fact based science, sprinkled with human behavior to draw the reader or listener into a very believable yet compelling plot.

Well done Captain White.

Cheers

Another great book!

Thank you Randy for the wonderful books in the Doc Ford series. I also appreciate George Guidall's narration to the point that three of my four favorite authors use George as their narrator. I look forward to character development as this book ended on a high point. Thank you again!
