Meh. If you followed the character of Stone Barrington, you soon realize that he lives a gilded life, accumulating wealth, houses, cars & women. A bit too "James Bond" for me, but whatever...... This last installment has Stone protecting his amour, Holly Barker, as she is president-elect. This last book is the worst of the series; the plot is weak (oh no! SOMEONE wants to kill the President!), there is no character development; the whole thing is so predictable as to be downright boring.
