About this listen
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.

Story
Its cool gulf breezes lured him from a life of danger. Its dark undercurrents threatened to destroy him. After 10 years of living life on the edge, it was hard for Doc Ford to get that addiction to danger out of his system. But spending each day watching the sun melt into Dinkins Bay and the moon rise over the mangrove trees, cooking dinner for his beautiful neighbor, and dispensing advice to the locals over a cold beer lulled him into letting his guard down.

Story
The world’s shark population is in trouble for a sad, simple reason: shark fin soup. And although it’s illegal, poachers have been targeting Florida’s biannual migration of blacktip sharks. Marine biologist Doc Ford needs some assistance protecting the sharks and enlists the help of three kids - Luke, Maribel, and Sabina. Luke is brand-new to Florida from the Midwest; sisters Maribel and Sabina have only recently arrived from Cuba - and all three feel like fish out of water. It’s going to take some convincing for them to work as a team.

And that’s both a good and a bad thing.

Death in the Everglades chronicles the demise of one of 20th-century Florida's most enduring folk heroes.

This fascinating biography of his abbreviated but eventful life is emblematic of the struggle to tame the Florida frontier without destroying it.

Doc Ford is the Swiss Army Knife of action dudes.
Doc pulls it out again. How can a fellow get into such seriously deep poop and yet still manage to free the captive fingerlings, get sympatico with the girls, match wits with Tomlinson and avoid the cops. He does it again. This time the bad guys were really sick dudes and about half way through I wanted Doc to waste 'em... But it dragged on. I ride my bike for hours listening to George Guidall so I'm getting exercise and distracted from the pain and that's OK by me.

Who Likes Caviar?
I have had these Doc Ford novels in my library wish list for a long time. As a former native of Florida, I enjoyed reading several of the Randy White Doc Ford series. I am sitll uncertain if I want to continue listening to the Audible versions of those I have not read. Maybe, it is just me, but are some novels better read than listened to on Audible? Don't know the answer, but the Doc Ford series may fit into that category for me.
In this outing Doc Ford makes it his business to investigate a group that are involved in the unscrupulous act of harvesting fish that are used for Caviar. Since I am not into Caviar, the story did not strike my fancy until the real plot was revealed. At a party hosted by these thugs, a group of "Free the Caviar Fish" join in and cause all kinds of trouble.
By the time the novel concludes, there are multiple deaths, terrorists, Russian mobsters, boats destroyed, and the fish are set free. Case solved.

Not White's best
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
I am a big fan and read everything he writes. After the last two books, Deep Shadow & Night Vision, I expect and want more of the same intensity of action and depth of character. I didn't really feel any of that in Chasing Midnight.
What was most disappointing about Randy White’s story?
The characters.
What about George Guidall’s performance did you like?
I especially like George Guidall's reading of White's books.
I picture Doc Ford with his voice. He also read Night Vision. Great performance.
Do you think Chasing Midnight needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
The sturgeon science was interesting, Environmental terrorism. Lots of good subject matter.
Any additional comments?
I have only read this book audibly. Before totally dismissing it, I will give it another chance and read it in book form. Maybe I missed something.

Drawn out, with little character development
It was more like a narration than a story. Perhaps if all the other stories weren’t so good, this would be better.

Unusual disappointment
Doc Ford is one of my favorite literary characters, along with the supporting cast of this series. This one fell flat - story was slow, and lacked the action and compelling scenes typical of Randy Wayne White's other Doc stories. As usual, George Guidall's narration was superb, but even he couldn't bring this one up to speed. Can't recommend it.

weak and rambling
What would have made Chasing Midnight better?
it was confusing and way too long. The final scene of a boat chase seemed to take hours to unfold, without any real reason.
Would you ever listen to anything by Randy White again?
yes
Did George Guidall do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?
okay
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
