Summary: Most entertaining paperback I've read!
Review: I read this book years ago and still consider it one of the best ever. I read all of Woods' books after reading this and while I liked them, only a couple compare to this book.

Visualize Alicia Silverstone as his daughter and Jimmy Buffett or Paul Hogan as his pilot. This is a great movie that was never made. I don't want to give away the plot, but the father receives a call that will hook the reader to the book. Couldn't put it down and read it in a day.

Read this book for enjoyment.

Summary: MOST EXCELLENT READING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: I started this book around 3:pm on a monday and I simply could not put it down till I finished it I am not a regular reader of fiction but at one time in my life I was involved in (the trade) so my curiosity was piqued when I saw this book laying around so I picked it up and began to read, about 5 hours later I was finished and I was wandering what other titles by the author I could find. This is without a doubt one of the most intrigueing novels I have had the pleasure of reading I would suggest it to anyone who wants to be gripped into a frenzy and deposited in a manner that will leave you second guessing your very own sanity.

Summary: Stuart Woods- White Cargo
Review: Stuart Woods 1988 novel "White Cargo" is an excellent read. A fast paced story that keeps the reader captivated, in my case I literally could not put this book down. This is the story of Wendell Catledge aka Cat a millionaire who made his money through invention of a printer. Catledge and his wife Katherine and daughter Jinx fall prey to what appears to be piracy while yachting on the coast of South America. Catledge wakes up in hospital to find his yacht has sunk and wife and daughter are dead. Catledge returns to the states and is contempating an end to his own life, when he recieves a phone call one day, and hears Jinx's voice. Catledge now has a new reason for living, to find his daughther and to avenge his wife's killers. Catledge begins a relentless search which will lead him deep into the Columbian Jungle. To say much more would be giving away a good story, one more thing I would like to say is I really liked the characters in this novel like Bluey Holland, Meg and even Prince a more sophisticated villian. "White Cargo" is an enthralling novel which will not disappoint, with a timless value to it, highly recommended.

Summary: Great Characters!!
Review: Stuart Woods really did a great job with this book. Cat Catledge is the main character, and at times the only character. Woods had to do some very hard work with creating the Catledge character because there just weren't that many characters to work with. After reading the whole novel, I felt like I had known Cat forever. The story starts out very good and plenty of action occurs within the first 50 pages (which is always very important). The story continued to be excellent and had many interesting different twists throughout the story! I would definitely recommend this book and plenty of other Woods novels!!

Summary: Spectacular!!!
Review: This book was absolutely superb! I could not put it down. I would very much recommend this book to anyone, as it is a fast-paced action thriller to the very end. You will find that you are actually in the Columbian jungle, with the drug dealers, desperately searching for the one person that means so much in your life. I must say that this is by far the best Stuart Woods novel that I have read in a long time. Thank you, Mr. Woods

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A True Page Turner
Review: This book was my first Stuart Woods novel that I've read and I wasn't disappointed. The action starts off quickly and keeps you turning pages well into the night. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in the crookedness of South America, the drug trade, action, and mystery. Definitely a quick read.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Book.
Review: This is a great reading book that I found hard to put down. I am an aviator, and found it very acurate in this regard, except for a few areas. It seems to be well researched and thought out in other areas as well. However, it is rather racy in certain parts. An interesting look into the darkness Columbian drug world and a ficticious, although plausable, look into how it can affect the innocent.
