[Turbulence] by Stuart Woods
Stone Barrington series Book #46
3.5 ★
Stone Barrington and several friends are vacationing in Florida when an extreme weather event puts a damper on their trip. Even worse, the hurricane-force winds blow a powerful, noxious politician straight onto Stone's doorstep. Though they part ways before long, Stone soon learns that he hasn't seen the last of his new acquaintance. It turns out that this official has some shady associates who may have destructive plans afoot, and Stone needs an entrée to the inside to figure out their scheme. With the fate of nations at stake, Stone must summon all of his fearless daring to put an end to the audacious plot...but this time he may be in over his head.I asked myself why I continue to read this series and can honestly say that I have always liked the characters of Stone Barrington and Dino. I admit that I liked them more about 40 books ago...but every once in awhile the old Stone Barrington shines through. The one thing I can say for Stuart Wood's writing is that he doesn't waste space with descriptions and he has managed to cram the characters from what were his other four series into the Barrington series...so the reader will always meet some of the old gang. Probably the best addition to the series is "Bob", the dog.
