An Exciting Book!
26 Aug 2001
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This was an outstanding book. A computer tycoon becomes a victim of piracy in the South American waters. He thinks that his wife has been killed as well as his daughter. He recieves a phone call during the night from the daughter that he thought was dead. He embarks on a rescue mission to locate his child in Columbia. The search is exciting as well. He finally joins forces with a female journalist. They trace his daughter to the empire of a drug baron nicknamed the "Anaconda". The computer tycoon uses all of his wits and cunning to free his daughter as well as himself and the female journalist. This book has many twists and turns that will constantly surprise the reader. It is hard to put this book down. It took me no time to read it. Buy this book. You will not be dissapointed.

Daddy....
24 Jun 2001
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Cat Catledge is just beginning to come to terms with the murders of his wife and daughter when the phone rings. One word - "Daddy"- and then the phone is hung up. That phone call leads Cat and the readers on a journey through Colombia as Cat tries to find and rescue his daughter, Jinx.
Drug trafficers have fallen out of favor as the villians of choice in thriller fiction. This book, written in 1988, was written at the height of their popularity and is still a darn good read. Cat is a good hero - a rich computer printer inventor who has plenty of vulnerabilities (first and foremost his family). Woods provides an great group of friends to fill the gaps for Cat. I particularly liked Bluey, the renegade Australian pilot.
Since Jinx was kidnapped by pirates off the Colombian coast, much of the book takes place in that country. Woods does a nice job of telling the reader about the various cities without falling into the traveloge trap.
And, yes, the pages turn easily. A fun read for all (except, maybe, the fathers of beautiful eighteen year old daughters).

I didn't expect to like it!
29 Jun 1997
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Do you ever get sad when you finish a book? "White Cargo" was one of those books for me. So well-written, I got emotionally involved with the characters, yet this seemed like just another page-turning thriller. Well, it is, but Stuart Woods does such a good job at character development, he makes you feel like YOU'RE on the mission, along with Cat Catledge, searching for his family's killers. A friend loaned me the book and I said it wasn't my kinda story, but he assured me I'd like it. Now I've found a new author, and I hope I like the rest of Woods' tales as much as I liked this one
