New York Times best-selling author Stuart Woods is hailed as a master of the modern thriller. With books including Chiefs, Dead in the Water and Worst Fears Realized, he has attracted millions of fans who relish their nonstop suspense and danger. Wendell "Cat" Catledge is sailing along the coast of South America with his wife and teenaged daughter when engine trouble forces them to a small Colombian dockyard. Suddenly, their vacation becomes a nightmare. Cat is unconscious, his boat is sinking, his wife and child lie bloody and cold in the cabin. Months later, a phone call in the middle of the night leads Cat to believe that his daughter is still alive. His search for her will take him deep into the Amazon jungle and into the maelstrom of an all-consuming revenge. The intense action in White Cargo builds to a shattering showdown that is all the more gripping through L.J. Ganser's dramatic narration.

      Woods's violent but involving thriller about a father's attempts to retrieve his kidnapped daughter from the clutches of a merciless drug kingpin is thankfully relieved by pleasant interludes at lavish South American hotels, often poolside, and by a little romance. L.J. Ganser's fluid, energetic voice smoothly handles these shifts in tone, effectively conveying both the gritty action and the lighter moments. His vocal characterizations are varied and interesting, and his delivery makes the most of some surprising plot developments. As "Cat" Catledge and his small band of allies navigate the dark underbelly of Colombia and the dangers of the Amazon jungle in search of his missing daughter, Ganser does an able job of making us root for the good guys.

      Despite Woods's on-site research in Colombia, this suspense tale of cocaine trafficking and kidnapping only skims the surface of the seamy drug world it purports to investigate. Wendell (``Cat'') Catledge, a self-made electronics millionaire, is yachting off the South American coast with his family when a bloody act of piracy snatches away his ``heart-stoppingly beautiful'' teenage daughter Jinx and wife Katie. They are presumed dead, but weeks later Cat gets a brief phone call and recognizes Jinx's voice. His quest for his daughter, who is now a zombie enslaved by ``the Anaconda,'' a Colombian drug baron, involves Cat with assorted CIA and narc types and with Meg Greville, a freelance TV journalist who may be KGB. Woods (Deep Lie, Chiefs) serves up a slam-bang rescue as a fitting finale, but the suspense overall is so-so and the Latinos are either faceless or stereotypically sneaky. This one reads like a lukewarm episode of Miami Vice.
