Story
Sifting through reams of seemingly unrelated intelligence, CIA analyst Katherine Rule discovers a chilling pattern: an ultrasecret Baltic submarine base...a crafty Russian spy-master in command...a carefully planned invasion about to be launched from dark waters. Her suspicions, however, are dismissed by those higher up; her theory, they say, is too crazy to be true. But to Katherine, it’s just crazy enough to succeed - unless she can stop it. If she’s right, an attack sub has already penetrated friendly waters.

Joe Pickett is the new game warden in Twelve Sleep, Wyoming, a town where nearly everyone hunts and the game warden—especially one like Joe who won't take bribes or look the other way—is far from popular. When he finds a local hunting outfitter dead, splayed out on the woodpile behind his state-owned home, he takes it personally. There had to be a reason that the outfitter, with whom he's had run-ins before, chose his backyard, his woodpile to die in.

Trip to Ireland
I read Stuart Woods "Chief" and was impressed with the quality of writing and story telling. This is book two in the series of the Lee family. This book drops a generation to Will Lee Jr. He is drinking and not pulling effort into his law school studies, so decides to take time off from school and visit his maternal grandfather in Ireland. The story takes place mainly in Cork in southern Ireland. Woods does provide a good deal of information about the country side. The opening of the book grabs your attention but you will have to wait to the end of the book to find out what happed. Will meets an English couple and helps them with the building of a sail boat for a cross Atlantic race. The story is suspenseful, with information about Irish politics of the 1970's and the IRA terrorist attack's against the English. There is some romance and humor in the story. Will has a lifetime habit of not finishing anything he starts so part of the story is will he finish the boat, run away when the situation get tough, will Will and Connie get married, will he grow up into a man? John Keating did a great job with the narration and all the accents.

OUTSTANDING
Where does Run Before the Wind rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Top 10%
What other book might you compare Run Before the Wind to and why?
Compared favorably to Chiefs which may be the best book I've ever listened to.
What about Rick Holmes and John Keating ’s performance did you like?
I liked them a lot.
If you could rename Run Before the Wind, what would you call it?
Nothing comes to mind!
Any additional comments?
I had listened to all of the Will Lee series prior to listen to this. As far as I know the audio version of this one had not been available until fairly recently. The Will Lee series is one of my all time favorites, and I have listened to audio books constantly for close to 20 years.

I started this series with Chiefs of course and have listened to many of Stuarts Stone B. series books, however I have to say this book is my absolute favorite. The story kept me engaged, I loved how the characters were developed and intertwined. The only thing about the book I didn't care much for was the ending and the closing one way or another of Will's and Connie's relationship. I was rooting for them to get back together, but alas, it appears not to be so in this book. I guess I'm on to the next book to see.

Worst I Didn’t Return
This book was the worst I didn’t return. It was entertaining for the most part. To much dumb though. I lie to my girlfriends and fxxx around. I later have sex with my best friends wife and then I complain about the women not wanting me. Huh. The appear to not have circuit breakers or GFI breakers in the writers world and this kills people. Huh. And on and on. But still it kept me entertained enough not to return it. The narrator was great and I think that’s what saved it for me.

Question earlier grades
Where does Run Before the Wind rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
I puzzle why others who read this story could grade it so low. It was definitely not a Stone Barrington bed romp. It had character, believable sequences and story lines. It was a complete departure from Stuart Woods other fiction and was extremely believable. I wish he'd pursue this avenue more in the future. The bed romps are getting old.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Will Lee without a doubt. He was believable.
What does Rick Holmes and John Keating bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
I felt like was was a witness while listening.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Will's maiden voyage, finding himself.

A minor dissapointment
Well narrated, but I have no love of sailing and my knowledge of 1970's Irish rebellion is spotty. But even in all my ignorance, I found the plot lines predictable and pretty dull. I chose this book because I was delighted to find that Woods had written a series on Will Lee. This one focuses on a year during law school where Will hangs out in Ireland and goes from being a boy to a man. Romance and tragedy about, but he comes out stronger for it all in the end.

Not Woods best
Would you try another book from Stuart Woods and/or Rick Holmes and John Keating ?
I've downloaded and listened to almost every Stuart Woods book but I found this one didn't hold my interest at all.
If you’ve listened to books by Stuart Woods before, how does this one compare?
Toward the bottom of the list.
What do you think the narrator could have done better?
Narrater was ok but he couldn't do much with the material.
Do you think Run Before the Wind needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
No.
Any additional comments?
Even though some of Stuart Woods more recent Stone Barrington books have become rather blah and predictable, they are still more entertaining than this book.

A Predictable Tale of Decadent Brits
A story so weak, even the random ardvarking can't rescue it; characters so spoiled and feckless, not a single one is sympathetic.; Whatever drama there might be, is phony. The reader of the English characters is duller than dishwater. But none of those failures is what's remarkable about this book.: were I asked to explain why the Irish rightfully hate the British for their occupation of Ireland and their treatment of the Irish, I''d start by recommending this book: it is a perfect depiction of what makes the upper British classes truly despicable. Not only is it anti-Irish in its broad sweep of the Irish character, but it fails to notice how its heroes are all privileged, entitled, exceedingly wealthy, pretenders, given to betrayal, and blood suckers of the members of the productive class.
At least Mr Wood's other major character, Stone Barrington, knows that he's a nothing more than an outdated pretender.
