Doc Ford is on a collision course with death in this extraordinary new novel from the New York Times bestselling author. Alot is going on in the trailer park known as Little Guadalajara, inhabited principally by illegal laborers. The park manager is the hired gun of a financial syndicate that wants to develop the property, and he's prepared to do whatever it takes-but he can't figure out what to do about the teenage girl, the one the laborers believe has some sort of gift. When she witnesses him killing a man, though, and runs, there's nothing left to figure: He's got to find her fast and shut her up good. Her only hope for survival: a marine biologist (and sometimes more) named Doc Ford, who along with his friend Tomlinson, must undertake a search through an underground, invisible nation...and just hope he reaches her first.

"Is it just me or has Randy Wayne White made a conscious effort to move into the teen paranormal romance genre? This is still a Doc Ford Novel but it continues a trend of introducing young characters with extra sensory... powers. I'm not complaining, it was still a bona fide page turner."
— Brian (4 out of 5 stars)
" Another Doc Ford novel. Less of the "marine biology for novices" that attracted me to his series in the first place, and a little weird with the middle 70% of the book. Not as entertaining as others of his that I've read. I skipped quickly through most of it without really reading it for effect. I wouldn't recommend it. "
— Greg, 2/18/2014" Only two Doc Fords have truly disappointed me- I think one was The Man Who Invented Florida which if I recall correctly went on far too long about Florida real estate dealings and now this one. About 2/3 of the way through listening to this audio it occurred to me that there had been no Doc, no Tomlinson, no other Dinkin's Bay folk at all in the story since the opening bits. Tula was an OK character with that slight mystical touch that I enjoy (that's one of the main things I like about Tomlinson) but I got tired of her and her "giant" being constantly front and center. It was only when Doc reappeared and some ACTION finally began that the book got interesting again. Too much talking! And the ending was kind of fuzzy- it just petered out as if White got that far and lost interest- as I sort of did. Still love Doc but I'd prefer he got back to being the heart of the book. "
— Phair, 2/13/2014" OK ... I really like this series, but this installment disappoints. Plot is paper thin. Suspense is forced. Good guys win. Bad goys lose. White is capable of much better. Here's hoping he returns to form. "
— Stacy, 2/13/2014" Another page turner from RWW. A few new twists. Enjoyable. "
— Eli, 2/8/2014" Night Vision (Doc Ford #18) by Randy Wayne White (G.P. Putnam's Sons 2011)(Fiction - mystery) finds Doc Ford searching for a Guatamelan girl who's revered as a religious mystic by the illegal immigrant community and who has been kidnapped by a gang of criminals who produce snuff films and steroids. Will he find her in time to save her life? My rating: 5/10, finished 8/16/12. "
— Dave, 1/24/2014" Doc Ford and his friend Tomlinson venture into a trailer court inhabitated by mostly by illegals in order to help a 13-year-old girl from Guadalajara who is thought by others living there to have special gifts. "
— Florence, 1/15/2014" Good beach read. The setting is in Fort Myers Beach and Sanibel Island area where we stayed on vacation. Got the book signed by the author while eating in his restaurant Doc Fords! "
— Abranch71, 12/30/2013" Good Doc Ford but not close to my favorite "
— Roseann, 12/27/2013" Great book! Fun and fast read! "
— Debora, 11/4/2013" Another great book in the Doc Ford series. I learned even more interesting facts about Florida. "
— Gail, 10/27/2013" Currently listening to the audio of this book. "
— Malina, 10/25/2013" Another fine Doc Ford Adventure!! "
— Cottero, 10/22/2013" I started reading this series because it is set in Sanibel and Captiva, and kept reading it because of the characters and the plot. Another good one! "
— Lorie, 9/27/2013" Another good action/adventure story by Randy Wayne White. "
— Vickie, 6/15/2013" Another only OK Doc Ford novel. Better than the last one (the lake) but not up to the early adventure ones (which, of course, were a little too "James Bond"ish). This one has some hard violence and sex and Doc gets a little too pensive. "
— Steve, 3/28/2013" Interesting story with religious themes. Teen female character was very interesting. "
— E, 3/17/2013" Listened to this on CD. Good reader. To our surprise there was a very direct link to David in the book. "
— Kate, 1/7/2013" This is my least favorite Randy wayne White book to date. In my opinion, his last few books have been moving into a realm of "really unbelievable" and this one surpassed the others. I felt like this was just churned out without much thought being given to consistency on characters, etc.. "
— Gizelle, 10/17/2012" Certainly not up to his usual standards. Pretty far-fetched storyline. "
— Linda, 9/14/2012" Story was OK. I did not like the voice of the person reading it. "
— Sheryl, 5/9/2012" Good summer reading. I'm getting into this guy's genre. "
— Eric, 12/10/2011" Pretty interesting and well done story after a longer than necessary beginning. Stick with this and you will be rewarded with 7 of 10 stars. "
— Tim, 12/6/2011" I loved how the author wrote such detailed descriptions of locations and events. I believe this book is one of many in a series so I was a little lost regarding the main character without all the background. The story line was just ok, but I did really enjoy the author's writing style. "
— Sarah, 11/25/2011" Gangs are targeting illegal immigrants and making movies of the terrible things they do to them. Doc Ford must rescue a young girl who speaks to Joan of Arc. Great info on alligators in this book. "
— Mlg, 9/1/2011" Stopped reading after about 10 pages. "
— Jerry, 8/29/2011" I DID NOT CARE FOR THIS BOOK AT ALL AND COULDN'T WAIT TO BE FINISHED READING IT. I'VE READ ALL R.W.W.'S PREVIOUS BOOKS BUT THIS WILL DEFINITELY BE THE LAST. "
— Trina, 5/21/2011" As a big Doc Ford fan this book was a disappointment. White hit us over the head with his message of the plight of illegals and the evil of drugs and steroids. This was too over the top for me. This was Doc Ford - Superhero! "
— Valovich, 5/17/2011" Certainly not up to his usual standards. Pretty far-fetched storyline. "
— Linda, 5/10/2011" Another enjoyable Doc Ford, Tomlinson novel. "
— Judy, 4/23/2011" Not exactly my favorite, but not all bad. Plenty of action, but a little wordy at times. "
— doug, 3/31/2011" Currently listening to the audio of this book. "
— Malina, 3/30/2011" This book was just okay. It didn't have a whole lot of memorable moments except with the whole alligator scene. Not the best Randy Wayne White work. "
— Jill, 3/22/2011" Another good action/adventure story by Randy Wayne White. "
— Vickie, 3/13/2011" I started reading this series because it is set in Sanibel and Captiva, and kept reading it because of the characters and the plot. Another good one! "
— Lorie, 3/12/2011" Just finished it a quick two day read. Maybe I need to give soem of his earlier work another look "
— Todd, 3/2/2011" Good beach read. The setting is in Fort Myers Beach and Sanibel Island area where we stayed on vacation. Got the book signed by the author while eating in his restaurant Doc Fords! "
