Publisher Description
Will Lee, the hero of the acclaimed New York Times bestsellers Run Before the Wind and Grassroots, has finally established himself at the heart of American government as the respected Senator from his home state of Georgia.
The road to the White House, however, will be more treacherous - and deadly - than Will and his wife, Kate, an associate director in the Central Intelligence Agency, can imagine. A decent, courageous, and principled man, Will soon learns he has more than one opponent with whom he must contend. Thrust into the national spotlight as never before, he becomes the target of clandestine forces from the past who will use all their money and influence to stop him - dead - in his tracks. Now Will isn't just running for president...he's running for his life.
Filled with all the suspense and roller coaster plot twists that have become Stuart Wood's trademark, The Run is this master storyteller at his best.

" I love all of the Stone Barrington books and this one so far is not disappointing. Having him on St. Marks adds an air of mystery to everything. Can't wait to see how it ends. "

“A smooth, fast pace…and twists and turn that dare the reader to try and figure what will come next…Even if you’re disgusted with present politics, you can warm up to Will and enjoy this suspenseful and thoughtful novel.”

“[Woods] always delivers a good story, nail-biting action.”
— San Antonio Express-News -
“Howard fluctuates between reading the story straight and acting out its characters. This is not a problem, however, as his pacing is superb and his deep voice is the perfect timbre for this suspenseful tale.”
— Publishers Weekly -
“One hell of a good read, and a very serious look at the fragile state of our political system now that it has been turned over to consultants and talking heads. A very enjoyable and accomplished book.”

" Woods is always good for snappy dialogue and light plots. <br/>WHOA! only a couple pages of gratuitous sex!!! Either Stone or Woods is slipping. <br/> <br/>I keep wondering how Dino gets all that time off from NYPD. "

" It almost made it to four stars, but the author left some loose ends. "
— Gabriella, 2/8/2011 -
" I did not think I would finish listening to this CD at the beginning, but it grew on me. It is slow but interesting. Characters are shallow but the story is good. I will read other Stone Barrington books. "

" Stone Barrington chases the elusive assassin Teddy Fay, Teddy gets away again. "

" Typical Stuart Woods~fast paced and this one had familiar characters. I didn't find this as gripping in the beginning as earlier one I've read. "
— April, 10/14/2010 -
" One of those perfect i need to relax type of books. Totally unrealistic intrigue. "
— Andrea, 10/3/2010 -
" Tony Roberts narrates the heck out of this series. <br/>As usual Woods strains the boundaries of credibility. "
— Lisa, 9/26/2010 -

— Lorna, 9/24/2010 -
" Back to St. Marks "
— Denise, 8/10/2010 -
" Entertaining,but predictable. At my age, this is fairly hard to understand, but not too hard. Maybe I'll read again when I'm older and wiser. Definitely not a bad book, but something left me unsatisfied. "
