Publisher's Summary

In this exhilarating new thriller from number-one New York Times best-selling author Stuart Woods, Stone Barrington must go up against an enemy with deadly intentions - and ideologies.

Stone Barrington and his friends are vacationing in Maine when their leisure is suddenly disrupted by extreme weather. To make matters worse, the inclement conditions allow for a menacing adversary to sneak in unnoticed and deliver a chilling message. Soon it becomes clear that the target of the incident is one of Stone's closest companions, and that these enemies have a grander scheme in mind. 

From the bustling streets of New York City to the sun-drenched shores of Key West, Stone intends to nab the criminals that appear behind him at every step. But his search only leads him further down a trail of peril and corruption, and he'll soon find that at the end of the road is a more dangerous foe than he could have imagined....

Critic Reviews

 "The action builds to a satisfying double climax." (Publishers Weekly)

"This is prime Woods.... Slick, reliable, action-oriented escapism, just right for troubled times." (Booklist)

Ugh!

The worst book of the series by far! I’ve been a fan for a long time but this story was disappointing.

Should have listened to negative reviews

I saw the negative reviews but disregarded them cause I enjoy the Stone Barrington series. The political focus of making the vilians be republican or conservatives and the left being the good guys has gotten so old to me and very low level or basic. The series used to offer some complexity but has lost that with this one

I am tired of Wood's views dominating his story. Doesn't matter which side you are on this should be entertainment. The blatant disregard for his readers is the end for me.

Overall enjoy Robert's read just not the series. After buying everyone of these I'm finally out and will not buy anymore and suggest you do the same.

Sad ending to what was a good relationship.

Politics

I rarely write a review. I have read every Stuart Woods novel twice. Each novel has been creeping closer and closer to politics. Quite honestly, I have enough politics in real life. If you prefer a more conservative view of politics, skip this one. I am sad because Stone Barrington has ALWAYS been my escape.

New narrator

poor narration, characters sounded old and boring. Each character sounded as they were in there 80s with little enthusiasm...supposed to be an action novel.

Not a typical Stone Barrington

disappointed by this one not a typical stone Barrington.
while he was in the story it wasn't really about his adventures.

Exciting and suspenseful as always.

Once I started listening, I didn't want to stop. Interesting new characters I would love to have included in a new story.

Good read!!

Another chapter in the Stone Barrington story!! Quite entertaining. Easy read, well written and enjoyed the narration.

I like me some Stone Barrington at least once a year!

This was good entertainment and easy listening.Stuart Woods,thank you for another exciting episode of the illustrious Stone Barrington and his crew.Lived it!

Twix and Between

narrator seems to struggle switching between voices with each book, especially between male and female voices; not to mention all the characters sound 80 years old especially the women...

I really enjoyed this one!

Nice to have a book where stone isn’t humping is way through the whole thing.
