I really did enjoy this book... if nothing else to lay the foundation for future Will Lee books. Some of the sailing stuff was rather dry to me, but if you are part of that world, I think you would enjoy this even more!
Run Before the Wind is Stuart Woods’ second novel. Will Lee’s family is introduced in Woods’ first novel, Chiefs. Lee is a young man who is off for adventure in Ireland, but gets more than he set out for. It is a book about sailing and a young man finding out who he is.
Stuart Woods’ books are best if read in order. His characters often make appearances in books even if they are not about them.
Will Lee ran from a life of Southern wealth and privilege to spend a peaceful summer on the coast of Ireland. But there is no peace in this beautiful, troubled land...
Restless and dissatisfied, Will dreams of shipbuilding and sailing on crystal-blue waters. Then an explosion of senseless violence drags the young American drifter into a lethal game of terror and revenge. Now Will Lee must run for his life from a bloody past that is not his own.
