Relation During Books Mid Ocean
The Sea Holds Many Secrets.Special Agent Joel Kenyon, just out of the U.S. Customs Academy, has been assigned to the badlands of drug enforcement, the Florida Keys. In a short time he must adjust himself to lifestyle of sandals, Jimmy Buffett and the quest for the perfect frozen drink. Set in 1984, Mid Ocean will take you to the Caribbean wild west. A place tourists never see, where, for centuries, fortunes have been won and lost along the treacherous reefs; a haven divers and fishermen during the day; a conduit for smugglers at night. With the lure of easy money and the temptations available to those in authority, the lines of right and wrong are often blurred, testing even the strongest moral compass in an atmosphere where navigating a bad course can be deadly. In the end, Joel will question everyone, including himself in his quest for what is right and what is true. Mid Ocean was inspired by real-life events.

I could almost feel the salt spray coming over the bow of the boat as a read "Mid Ocean" by T. Rafael Cimino. The author's depiction of 1984 South Florida is flawless. In an age that transformed this part of the country and defined a decade, Mid Ocean hits the nail on the head with blow by blow prose that grabs the reader and doesn't let go until the last page. Mid Ocean was written by ex-Miami Vice (TV Series) writer, marine director, T. Rafael Cimino and his in depth portrayal of the drugWell written, but all of the technical boating terms were too much. Seems like it was filler. Also the ending left a lot to be desired, especially when it came to some of the "villains."
I worked on the TV series and Movie Miami Vice with this author, T. Rafael Cimino (Todd to us). This book is so true to life, I don't know where to begin. A true talent, Mr. Cimino is an artist with his pen. Amazing detail of a life that I've lived and miss so much.
Shades of Miami Vice but based on true events! Drug smugglers and US Customs deal with each other in Florida and lots of twist and turns in the story. Enjoyed reading!
I was always a fan of Miami Vice. Mid Ocean is the latest in this great storyline of drugs, cops and South Florida. When I found out the Author was a big part of the TV series it made this thrilling story that much better.
My grandfather was a Venezuelan immigrant who came to Miami in the 70's. As a result this is where I was raised. I used to listen to all the stories of the drug dealing and smuggling and it wasn't until I read Mid Ocean that I had a truely graphic picture of what really happened. My own father was killed on 88th Street in a drug deal and this specific part of crime drama has a special place in my heart. Now I keep this book very close to me. Thank you to Mr. Cimino for writing it.
I'm surprised I finished it. The writing was awful. The editing was non-existent. There were misspellings! The characters were not believable. The plot was ok, but there were irrelevant episodes and subplots that made no sense.
