Suddenly, their vacation becomes a nightmare. Cat is unconscious, his boat is sinking, his wife and child lie bloody and cold in the cabin.

Great book right from the beginning

This is my first book by this author and I was not disappointed it was a great story

story was always interesting. never a dull moment

particularly appreciated the twists and turns in the story. very well written. from beginning to end. 😁

The problem is.....

The only dislike is the chapters on my screen do not line up with the ones announced during the reading. Otherwise it was a good story, exciting to the end.

Typical 1980s action thriller

Rich guy decides to take a 2 year sabbatical with his family on his new sailing yacht and go through the Panama Canal. Picks up a stranger on the way to help him crew the boat - hmm, what could go wrong? And, of course, when his family is attacked and murdered, he seems revenge. He discovers his daughter is still alive and kidnapped by a drug king pin - so he does what every red blooded American white guy does - he gets help from old CIA contacts. It's a bit over the top, but if you can suspend belief long enough, it is a fun ride.

Great Story

This story shows how a father will do anything to protect his children from harm

Wow, winding, twisting turning story

A great story. A little explicit at points, mostly when necessary. A good listen

JinX

one of Woods best. I have enjoyed all but two of Woods books so far but I must say, this was the most intriiguing book of all. it was believable, heartbreaking, and kept you interested to the end. qould make s great movie

narratir was great

liked the complexity of the story. Good character development. descriptions were well done and completed.

Not what I expected!

I’m a big fan of Stuart Woods and have read most of his Stone Barrington books. They tend to be fairly light reading, not requiring much thought. So I was quite surprised at the depth of this book! It is not anything like his other books. It is a stand alone novel about a family and a kidnapping and the rescue. It kept me in great suspense and I couldn’t stop listening. I finished in one day! As an added bonus the narrator was Tom Hanks, who did a wonderful narration.

The story, the suspense, and the narration were all terrific and I highly recommend this book!

Okay novel

For the most part I enjoyed this story. My biggest critique is how unlikely the storyline is. As I don’t want to spoil the story for others I will leave it there.
