New York Times bestselling author Stuart Woods delivers yet another riveting story of intrigue and deception in this strangely prophetic novel about a man whose life is out of control.
This description may be from another edition of this product.Stuart Woods was the author of more than ninety novels, including the #1 New York Times bestselling Stone Barrington series. A native of Georgia and an avid sailor and pilot, he began his writing career in the advertising industry. Chiefs, his debut in 1981, won the Edgar Award. Woods passed away in 2022.
I have read most of Stuart Woods' books and this one is much more substantial and thorough than his more recent ones which seem to have basically the same plot. There are more twists and turns to this plot. His earlier Stone Barrington books were also much better than the most recent ones.
I like his writing style. He's concise and doesn't use a paragraph where a sentence will do.A great plot line, well defined characters all combining to a great ending. A great beach, or airline flight, book.
Can I give more stars? I've read all Woods' books and this is my favorite. I've rarely been disapointed with SW,(DIRT), but the none stop action, the clever diologue, the literally gripping suspense makes this an easy A+. I've read it 3 times and bought it as a gift at least 5. When I heard "HEAT" was going to be a movie I was elated, only to be brought back to earth when I found out it had nothing to do with Woods' story. Their mistake.
Most of the reviews covered say what I would. I will add that if you have read The Big Picture and liked it, you will enjoy this book. Both books have the same kind of flow and engaging characters.
This story, I agree played out like a movie. It was a quick paced page turner to the end. The character of Jesse was a character you could really root for. The Pastor made a great villain.You could really feel the danger that Jesse was in throughout the story. I would not give the ending away but you'll see as you read the story that it will not be a predictable ending. One of the best books I have read.
This book hooks you from the beginning and you CANNOT put it down. I recommend this book to anyone who likes excitement, suspense and at the same time a love story intertwined throughout. Stewart Woods is my favorite author and I hope he continues to excite us with his creativity and imagination. He's so talented.
