Below the Belt

By: Stuart Woods

Narrated by: Tony Roberts

Stone Barrington lands in hot water in this thrilling adventure in the #1 New York Times bestselling series.

Newly ensconced in his Santa Fe abode with a lovely female companion, Stone Barrington receives a call from an old friend requesting a delicate favor. A situation has arisen that could escalate into an explosive quagmire, and only someone with Stone’s stealth and subtlety can contain the damage. At the center of these events is an impressive gentleman whose star is on the rise, and who’d like to get Stone in his corner. He’s charming and ambitious and has friends in high places; the kind of man who seems to be a sure bet. But in the fickle circles of power, fortunes rise and fall on the turn of a dime, and it may turn out that Stone holds the key not just to one man’s fate, but to the fate of the nation.

Surprise ending.

Typical Stone Barrington adventure. Great surprise ending!! Looks like Stone and Holly may yet get together.

Woods does it again!

Awesome as always. Rarely does a Stone Barrington novel fail to keep me riveted!

Unbelievable ☹️

Stuart, We are saddened by your latest book and by what we perceive as errors. First of all, no fbo or terminal is going to let a man go unaccompanied through the doors onto the tarmac. Secondly, no strategic services driver is going to miss being followed by two vehicles. And thirdly, Joan is too smart to have made such an error. These things are contrary to the reputations developed and solidified in all previous books. ☹️

Great sequel.

loved it, as usual. More Stone Barrington! He is my favorite character of Stuart Woods.
