The Riptide Ultra-Glide

About This Audiobook

Serge Storms returns in *The Riptide Ultra-Glide*, a Florida-fried crime romp that barrels down I-95 with the AC blasting, the windows down, and a trunk full of questionable life choices. Tim Dorsey’s cult-favorite antihero—equal parts vigilante, tour guide, and unhinged history buff—is in peak form, dragging two bewildered Midwesterners into his brand of roadside justice. This isn’t just a mystery; it’s a satirical road trip through Florida’s weirdest backwaters, from abandoned roadside attractions to alligator-infested subdivisions. The plot zigs with the precision of a GPS set by a maniac, and Dorsey’s razor-sharp wit cuts through the swampy absurdity like a machete. Fans of dark humor wrapped in a crime spree will savor every detour. Oliver Wyman’s narration elevates the chaos with a smooth, sardonic delivery that mirrors Serge’s calm-before-the-storm demeanor. He doesn’t just voice the characters—he inhabits the state itself, conjuring humid air and neon signs with his timing and tone. The audiobook transforms Dorsey’s already cinematic prose into something immersive and dangerously bingeable. Wyman handles rapid-fire dialogue, offbeat tangents, and sudden bursts of violence with equal ease, making the 9-hour runtime fly by like a convertible with no brakes.
