Publisher's Summary

Stone Barrington takes on a scheming rebel in this latest action-packed thriller from number-one New York Times best-selling author Stuart Woods.

Upon returning to New York City after a whirlwind British excursion, Stone Barrington is notified of a delicate situation within the country's administration. A close friend requires his expertise and subtlety to eradicate a destructive presence in a classified agency - only it soon becomes clear that this renegade was sent by a rival Stone has encountered before. 

From the City of Light to the rocky Maine coastline, Stone will need to summon all his wit and daring to halt the audacious plots threatening to reveal confidential intel, and catch the evasive traitor at last. This enemy may be equipped with unlimited resources and devious schemes, but if Stone remains vigilant, justice may finally prevail....

Critic Reviews

"The witty banter among Stone and friends and his frequent bedding of willing women keep the reader turning the pages...." (Publishers Weekly)

"Smooth escapism for voyeurs everywhere." (Booklist)

"Bon appétit to readers who like their international intrigue sweet and weightless as a soufflé." (Kirkus Reviews)

I’ve heard them all. Every single audio book by Woods.

This one is the most disappointing. It’s short, trite, re-uses so many cliches from previous books (is literally everyone born in Delano?), and ultimately it breaks down as lazy and uncared for at 7:10 in chapter 54 when the text as read says “pumped a round into the magazine.” Ugh. One does NOT pump a round into a magazine. One pumps a round into the chamber. Obviously Stuart, if he wrote this, has become so sloppy and careless that it’s hardly worth listening anymore, or his editor, if this appears in the original manuscript, has zero knowledge of guns (get a new editor, there’s guns in Stuart’s books), or the producer doesn’t pay attention, or perhaps the narrator cannot read, or maybe it’s all of these. At any rate, someone should be retired from this series based on the severity of this gaffe. Good luck finding something redeeming in this audio book. At least it’s exceptionally short.

Not any substance to story

Much to much discussion of the wealth clothes expensive wines. 20% story line. Very disappointed.

Maybe Time to End Barrington

Well I love Stone Barrington but the storylines are getting weaker and weaker with each new book very disappointing

Even worse than the last...

I almost returned early in the story. These are becoming more and more about Stones sexual escapades. The rest of the story is weak and the ending is rushed and sounds
like the Author is trying to mee6a deadline. Sad.

Treason

I have been a follower of this author for twenty years. This has to be the dumbest work that I have ever tried to plow through. Not worth wasting more words, but a saucer has more depth.

loved it but ending a bit disappointing.

ending was sudden and unexpectedly rushed and the story seemed unfinished. wasn't really the end

Same old. Seems like Stu phoned this one in.

Stone bedding every socialite he comes across, buys a new $60 mil jet and spends a weekend on his yacht No mystery, no intrigue, no unexpected plot twists.

good but.....

Woods always does a good story. but the idea of 8 night a week black tie dinner parties and restaurants holding the same tables night after night is getting old. Stone Barrington is in desperate need of a little ruggedness.

Not my favorite

This Stone Barrington story was not up to the usual standards. I have enjoyed this series for years, but was disappointed in this story. Also, it seemed like there was an abundance of sex. Not necessary to go so overboard. It interfered with the story.

Treason...disappointing

Woods threw random, graphic sex scenes in the story line and it really didn’t add anything to the story... 👎 I really enjoy the narrator but the story stinks ...
