The trio of brave friends who make up Sharks, Inc.--Luke, Maribel
and Sabina--dive into a crocodile-filled adventure in Crocs, the
third book in bestselling author Randy Wayne White's Sharks
Incorporated series. Marine biologist Doc Ford has a new mission
for Sharks Inc.: visit Sanibel Island's remote Bone Field to find a
wild orange tree that's survived a disease destroying Florida's
citrus. There, the members of Sharks Incorporated find oranges
unlike any they've ever seen, but can't find the tree Doc needs.
Worse, the area is protected by a massive saltwater crocodile. What
the team doesn't expect is to meet a reclusive woman who threatens
to call the police if they trespass on her land again. Reluctant to
give up, the trio learns she needs help. When she was young, the
woman found King Calusa's grave. Now, she believes the ghost of the
dead king, who was beheaded by Spanish explorers 500 years ago, is
haunting her. To uncover the truth, the kids return to the Bone
Field. The thousand-pound crocodile is determined to protect its
hatchlings, but crocs turn out to be the least of their worries.
The intrepid trio discovers the woman's wealthy neighbor is selling
illegal reptiles--and he knows the secret of the dead king's
missing gold medallion.

From "the rightful heir to John D. MacDonald" ("Tampa Tribune
Times") comes a wicked new thriller that sends government
agent-turned marine biologist Doc Ford into dangerous new waters,
as a Florida fishing dispute escalates into a deadly war that
reaches across the ocean.
Whether he's looking for wild orangutans on Borneo or diving off
the coast of South Africa, Randy Wayne White is one of America's
most adventurous travelers. In Last Flight Out, White challenges
and charms us with tales of his excursions into the dangerous, into
the ludicrous, and - especially - into the heart of humanity.
Randy White is a "mover" and has no time for people who can't keep
up. Join him as he dives in the infamous lake called the Bad Blue
Hole on the desolate Cat Island in the Bahamas. Search for the
perfect hot pepper in Colombia, and closer to home; go raccoon
hunting in Pioneer, Ohio, where the hunted almost always outsmart
the hunters. Get in the ring with Shine Forbes, an eighty-year-old
fighter in prime condition and Ernest Hemingway's former sparring
partner, and go on a secret mission to steal back General Manuel
Noriega's bar stools. Though he rarely finds what he's looking for
- such as the half-human, half-alligator creature known as
"Gatorman" - he cultivates his unique ability to revel in the
unique and comical situations of each exotic trip.
From a jungle survival school in Panama to a week at a professional
wrestler's training camp, White leaves the reader mesmerized by the
potential of undiscovered places and the promise of endless
adventure in unfamiliar territory. An icon of the new breed of
thick-skinned, high endurance travelers, Randy White is the real
deal.

The past comes disconcertingly alive for Doc Ford, in a series that continues to grow in popularity and acclaim. Randy Wayne White's Ten Thousand Islands was "one of the most satisfying thrillers in recent memory" wrote the Chicago Tribune, and the starred review in Publishers Weekly said, "Of all the writers [in] the Florida mayhem boom, only White can claim to have created a series hero to match Hemingway's memorable outdoorsmen and John D. MacDonald's much-missed Travis McGee." And now White has created his most electrifying novel yet. On a working vacation to Guava Key, marine biologist Doc Ford notices two female joggers who follow the same route at the same time every day. He can't help thinking how easy it would be for a predator to become aware of them, too. As it turns out, he isn't the only one. There seem to be more and more predators these days. Forced to step in, Ford finds himself involved in a story of intrigue and revenge that becomes more dangerous with every turn-and some of them hit pretty close to home. Add to that a Bahamian relative he never knew he had, a letter leading to a treasure that may or may not exist, and some past history that becomes very alarmingly present, and his life has suddenly become very complicated. Not to mention the prospect of his death. . . . Filled with crackling power and atmosphere, and some of the best suspense characters in fiction, Shark River is a triumph of storytelling.

Readers familiar with Randy Wayne White's "Out There" column in
Outside magazine will relish this first collection of his best
work; those new to White's delectable blend of adventure, hilarity,
and spirit can only be envied for the satisfaction of that first
encounter. Whether it's `This Dog Is Legend," in which he tells of
his cinder-block-retrieving Chesapeake Bay retriever named Gator,
or "Coming To America," about the stirring-and sometimes
terrifying-Mariel boat lift, White never fails to engross us in a
life of sun, boats, work, and sport.
In Randy Wayne White's The Heat Islands, marine biologist and
former secret operative Doc Ford is lazily poling his skiff along
Southwest Florida's flat copper sea in search of sea anemones, when
he runs into the body of the most hated man on Sanibel Island -
Marvin Rios. And when the Island's simplest and sweetest resident
is arrested for the murder, Doc heads straight into the heart of
the sunshine state's dark side - to save his friend from being
framed, and to save Sanibel Island from a rising tide of land-grab
schemes, blood money, and violence.
The Professional Tarpon Rodeo is back, and Doc Ford needs help from
the trio of brave friends who make up Sharks Inc.--Luke, Maribel,
and Sabina--to investigate the million-dollar competition in
bestselling author Randy Wayne White's fourth Sharks Incorporated
novel, Megalops. The Professional Tarpon Rodeo is back on Sanibel
Island, offering any celebrity contestant who lands a rare piebald
tarpon a one-million-dollar prize. But marine biologist Doc Ford is
certain that people are cheating to win. When an angler team
illegally catches a tarpon to feed it to sharks for attention, Doc
enlists the kids of Sharks Inc.--Luke, Maribel, and Sabina--to
uncover their scheme. Would introverted Luke rather be trapped
between a hammerhead shark and an injured tarpon--or trapped in the
spotlight of internet adoration? With the help of an unlikely new
friend, the intrepid Sharks Inc. trio will unmask a band of
zombies, outwit a devious celebrity manager, and rescue one elusive
tarpon.

Government agent-turned-marine biologist Doc Ford sails an endless sea of questions when he agrees to investigate a death from the past. Years ago, off Florida’s Gulf Coast, a teenaged girl found an ancient gold medallion. Then, she began having nightmares. Then she was found hanging from a tree. Now, years later, the girl’s mother is being terrorized with break-ins, phone calls with no one there—and her daughter’s grave has been dug up. Somebody wants that medallion.

< b>A New York Times Bestselling Author< /b><
P>The ghosts of the past haunt the present in Randy Wayne
White's stunning new novel, when Doc Ford agrees to research a
wreck uncovered by a hurricane - and sets in motion a chain of
events that will change his life forever.
Doc Ford returns to his stilt house on Dinkin's Bay to find an old
friend and one-time lover waiting for him. Her real-estate
developer husband has disappeared and been pronounced dead, and
she's sure there's worse to follow-and she's right. Following the
trail, Ford ends up deep in the Everglades, at the gates of a
community presided over by a man named Bhagwan Shiva (formerly
Jerry Singh). Shiva is big business, but that business has been a
little shaky lately, and so he's come up with a scheme to enhance
both his cash and his power. Of course, there's the possibility
that some people could get hurt and the Everglades itself damaged,
but Shiva smells a killing.
And if that should turn out to be literally, as well as
figuratively, true...well, that's just too damned bad.
Replete with passion and rich, pungent prose and some of the
best suspense characters anywhere in fiction, Everglades is the
finest work yet from an extraordinary talent.
It starts out as a fun excursion for four divers off the Florida coast. Two days later only one is found alive-naked atop a light tower in the Gulf of Mexico. What happened during those 48 hours? Doc Ford thinks he's prepared for the truth. He isn't.

An almost twenty-year-old unsolved murder from Florida's
pot-hauling days gets Hannah Smith's attention, but so does a more
immediate problem. A private museum devoted solely to the state's
earliest settlers and pioneers has been announced, and many of
Hannah's friends and neighbors in Sulfur Wells are being pressured
to make contributions.
The problem is the whole thing is a scam, and when Hannah sets out
to uncover who's behind it, she discovers that things are even
worse than she thought. The museum scam is a front for a real
estate power play, her entire village is in danger of being wiped
out--and the forces behind it have no intention of letting
anything, or anyone, stand in their way.
