Cut and Thrust
Stone Barrington enters a cutthroat game where only the canniest player can come out on top in this exceptional thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Stuart Woods.
When Stone travels to Los Angeles for the biggest political convention of the year, he finds the scene quite shaken up: a dazzling newcomer—and close friend of Stone’s—has given the delegates an unexpected choice, crucial alliances are made and broken behind closed doors, and it seems that more than one seat may be up for grabs. And amid the ambitious schemers and hangers-on are a few people who may use the chaotic events as cover for more sinister plans...

Who needs a lesson in how the various conventions work? Took up too many pages. The story of Barbara Eagle was highly improbable. The author, Stuart Woods, obviously has a lot if experience in airplanes that he’s added to the last few books. Stone gets richer and richer, buys more stuff. And it seems that almost every single woman he meets becomes a sex partner. He can’t seem to stay monogamous. And every single woman he meets wants to jump into bed with him. If he first went to law school for 3 years, then worked 14 years on the police force, then was a lawyer for about 3 years before he met Arrington, then Peter was born and is now 25, that conservatively puts Stone around age 66 at this point. Where can he go from here? How many more romances does he have coming in the next 33 books? And finally, Herbie Fisher, who was previously a zshlub, has now become a brilliant lawyer. Whatever became of Arrington’s murderer? Do any of the main characters have big setbacks? It doesn’t seem that Stone had much of a mourning period. Oy!! But I still like the books and Teddy Fay is a very interested character. BTW, the 2 brothers who worked for Don seem to be so similar to the brothers in the Myron Bolitar and Elvis Costello mysteries. More oy! Bring on book 31!! I know, but I still love the books.

Another great Woods yarn. Five stars all the way.

Whew just finished this latest work by Stuart Woods. I am an avid fan of Woods and own everything that he has written, sans the travelogue. Lately I felt that perhaps he was pushing to many books out the door and, that the quality and story lines where not up to par for Woods. I waited awhile to purchase this book for that reason, I just did not want a book that was not up to the quality I expected from him. I want to recommend to everyone that this book must be read fan of Woods or not. He cleverly included most of the characters from previous novels, except for Holly and Lance. This is another non believable story with a nice surprise ending

The first years of Stone novels were great. Detailed intrigue. Substantial plots. Now our arrogant author (read how he slaps at his buying audience after the end of every book) has gone steadily downhill. I think he's trying to write film treatments instead of novels now. I'm done paying high prices for his shoddy Ebooks. This had no character development and almost no plot. No real tension or drama. He's churning out books for bucks. Don't buy this one. Send a message. If you did buy it and rate it low add a comment telling others why. Maybe we can get our author to pull his head our of the clouds and care about the readers who made him rich.

There are two major political parties in our country. To view one in a lesser light as this book has only added more fuel to the political fire that has destroyed this country.
