The Run Audiobook Summary

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.

Just loved this book. I'm a sucker for Stuart Woods. These stories are just real enough to be believable and just fanciful enough to be fun. I like stories with twists and turns and this is one of them. Bravo, I'm sorry there are only a couple left in the series.

Another page turner in the Will Lee series!

I'm on a roll with Wood's "Will Lee" books. I keep reading one after the other in this series and am enjoying each one. Reading about the same characters, though time in the story is not standing still, helps me to become attached and concerned for their well-being. Sure becoming President so quickly like Will Lee proably isn't that realistice, but I like the clarity for the reasons he is moving forward. Will Lee doesn't move away from his values no matter what; his love for his family remains strong; and the acceptance of his wife for who she is and for his admiration and respect for her in what she does, makes me wish I was part of the story and also had an opportunity to vote for Will Lee. Thanks Mr. Woods.

I went into this book knowing very little about it, but I was hoping for a good political drama and full of scandal. I really like this one, but here's the thing I didn't realize until after I started reading it that it was the fifth book in the series. I really want to find out what is next, so do I go ahead and read the sixth novel and finish the series. Or do I start with book one and go in order from there.

This is short, solid, smart, and suspenseful novel about a presidential candidate running for the White House at the beginning of this century. It includes political disagreements, illegal behavior, sex, the death penalty, and other worthwhile fodder for a political novel. Like most of Woods writings, this will keep your attention.

Well... on one hand it is interesting to read a novel about running for President.On the other hand...We are now so engulfed with so much negative political "fake news" that I want to get away from it.

Will Lee series is a great read. I love Stuart Woods and this is another excellent series.

If I would read some of these in order it might make more sense. Nevertheless it was some history and some fiction, well mostly fiction.

Will Lee and his wife Kate survive a tumultuous run for president. Great read in a Stuart woods series

Carol

I like this one, especially the real-life references to George Wallace & Grace Kelly staring at JFK. I find Will Lee to be likable, and I'm more interested in his career as a lawyer & his run (like the title says) for president, but not when he's actually president (I'm glad Stuart Woods treats Lee as a secondary character after his ascent to the presidency). I enjoyed the Zeke character, along with the overall political race depicted in the novel. I definitely think it's worth a read!

Enjoyed the story especially the introduction and background of characters I am familiar with from the Stone Barrington books. My only complaint - I listened to the audiobook and the previous books in this series were narrated with a southern tone…I missed that voice in this book - especially for Will and his father.

Stuart Woods has hit another literary home run.This book may well be the best written fictional political novel ever written. If you haven't experienced a Woods Will Lee story you're missing out on some of the best word formation to ever be created.

Greer

One of SW's earlier books in the Will Lee series, it is the usual interesting story with likeable familiar characters (for readers of the series) and a plot that keeps the reader reading and ends too soon, leaving the reader wanting more.

Carol Lynn

Favorite seriesI cannot imagine not starting at the beginning and reading straight through this series. These are far more importantly interlinked than any of SW's other series.

Really well written and articulate.Enjoyed the writing and premise of the story. In the current political climate it was such a plausible storyline only the candidate and his wife were likable.

A well-written bookThat kept me reading. It’s a very accurate depiction, I believe, of a presidential campaign with a few assassin attempts put in for some excitement. I recommend this book.
