Holly Barker wins the Presidential election, and decides to hide out with Stone Barrington along with a skeletal Secret Service staff before she is inaugurated. There is a determined right-wing fanatic, who wants to prevent her from assuming office. Several attempts are made on her life, which are thwarted due to mostly luck and circumstances, but also because there are moles in the Colonel's camp. I liked the part where Holly (and readers) meet her double and everyone is figuring out how to avoid getting her killed as a lure for the Colonel's assassin. If you enjoy this cast of characters, this one is survivable, partially because the books are easy to read, even if they do rot your brain. P.S. It's high time for Stuart Woods to surprise readers again with a good story. Synopsis: Holly is the president-elect, with all the good and bad that entails. Almost immediately she becomes the focus of a group of right-wing idiots who want her dead. Stone, along with the FBI and CIA do their best to protect her, but not without lose of life. Moles are placed in the wing-nut group, and they, too are in danger. Review: At least this book has a plot; it also has an interesting sub story about two people who have infiltered a group. Ha HAAA! Stone Barrington's plot keeps getting more ridiculous as the series progress. In this one Stone's long time fling became President-elect. While waiting for her inauguration ceremony she escaped multiple assassination attempts. Lucky for her Stone has tremendous resources to keep her safe! There are new characters, wonder if they will be new recurring cast? sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

"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.."-- No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

Although I think the book ended rather abruptly, it was better than several of the recent Stone Barrington novels.
Super quick read. ( )
