Two-Dollar Bill delivers all the storytelling twists and whip-smart banter readers have come to love in Stuart Woods's thrillers, as suave Manhattan cop-turned-lawyer Stone Barrington is back on his home turf caught between a filthy rich conman-who's just become his client-and a beautiful prosecutor.

Download Description

Stone Barrington is caught between a clever con man-who's just become his client-and a beautiful prosecutor in this stylish thriller in the bestselling series. Two-Dollar Bill delivers all the storytelling twists and whip-smart banter readers have come to love in Stuart Woods's thrillers. In this latest, Stone Barrington, the suave Manhattan cop-turned-lawyer, is back on his home turf facing down a brilliant Southern flimflam man. The fun-and action-begins with what Stone believes will be a quiet dinner with his ex-partner, Dino, but they are interrupted by Billy Bob, a filthy rich, smooth-talkin' Texan, who strolls in and parks himself at their table. He's in town ""to make money,"" he says, unwrapping his wad of rare two-dollar bills, and in need of an attorney-namely, Stone-though he won't say why or when such representation will be necessary. As they leave the restaurant, however, an unknown assailant shoots at Stone and his cohorts-and the wily Southerner has spread his two-dollar bills around to everyone like confetti. Against his better judgment, Stone offers Billy Bob a safe haven for the night but almost immediately begins to suspect that he's made several precipitous misjudgments-for the slippery out-of-towner has gone missing and someone has been found dead-in Stone's town house no less. Stone is now caught between a beautiful federal prosecutor and a love from his past, a con man with more aliases than hairs on his head, and a murder investigation that could ruin them all.

3 out of 5 stars Very Fair.......2007-09-08

Not one of his best efforts. I thought the book dragged in places and then picked up with a decent but hurried ending.

1 out of 5 stars A formula within a formula with no way out.......2007-07-17

I've read everything by Woods and love his fast-paced dialog and his descriptions of how the rich get things done. But most of his books over the last 4-5 years have well, sucked. They start out great, move fast, engage you like a roller coaster at first, but then he seems to just slap any ridiculous ending together to get it over with. It seems he's making it up as he goes versus having a complete thought in the first place.

Now that he routinely mixes characters across series, they all seem to be chapters of each other and are instantly forgettable. And even though this is beach fare and I've taken them from the library, I hate feeling duped by a really lousy ending.

I think Woods would really like to write Hollywood action blockbuster but Stone as 007 is silly. His descriptions of people hanging from helicopters, huge explosions, etc, just don't cut it. I think I'll only read the first two thirds of his future books and leave the endings to my own imagination.

2 out of 5 stars Two dollar bill about a dollar short.......2007-01-09

Woods is getting to be too much of a formula writer. Little mystery; much out of any recent Stone Barrington Book reads as if author wants to have Barrington be some kind of aspriational hero for readers. Woods' earlier books far superior. If I buy any more of Woods' books, it will only be in paperback. Not worth the hard cover price.

4 out of 5 stars Another slick Stone Barrington novel.......2006-12-26

Picking up a Stone Barrington novel is like visiting an old friend. Namely, a slick, slightly upper class friend who has almost everything.
Two Dollar Bill introduces a character named Bullit, who is a rich investor from Texas. Stone asks for Bullit to stay at his house, and the next morning, a call girl winds up dead in Stone's guest room.
From there, Stone is hurled into figuring out who Bullit is, and what his scheme is, ending with a little suprise at the end.
All in all, a fast moving, engaging plot as one would suspect no less from a Stuart Woods Stone Barrington novel.

3 out of 5 stars Going through the motions--but very quickly.......2006-12-15

Stuart Woods started out something of a novelist. His first real fiction book, "Chiefs", had pretensions to being a real novel, dealing (as it did) with three generations of law enforcement in a small town, and the criminal who lived and killed in the town right under everyone's nose. Since he's gotten to writing series, though, he's gotten much more formulaic, and it certainly looks as if he's given up any pretense of doing anything other than entertaining his readers in the here and now. There's no allusions to literature here: pop culture rules.

This time around, Woods's chief protagonist, Stone Barrington, is arm-twisted into taking as a client a loud-mouthed Texan named Billy Bob Barnstormer. The minute Billy Bob walks onto the pages of the book, you know he's trouble. Stone knows it too, but he is too courteous and friendly to avoid allowing the guy to kill a call girl in Stone's guest bedroom. He then plants a gun on Stone, and does other things that swiftly lead to Stone having to flee to various locations in and out of New York City, shooting various bad guys, engaging in chase scenes, etc.

This book is rather predictable. There's almost no atmosphere, character development, or other extraneous content. The whole of the story is plot, and there's little else. If someone were to develop this as a movie, it might actually have potential: actors could provide character, background could provide atmosphere. As it is, the characters go to the same restaurant repeatedly, and the owner's cranky. That's what passes for atmosphere here.

Novel of the author's year in Viet Nam.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars A great perspective of one "grunt's" time in Vietnam.......2003-07-21

This book is an account of the time spent by Soiset during his tour in Vietnam. Although the names have been changed, the events that are told are real. His son was the motivation for writing the book. He wanted to have documentation of his experiences so that his son may better understand what he went through.

He begins the story with the jungle training he received in South America. Soon after he completes his training, he is in Vietnam commanding his first platoon. I have seen several war movies, but Soiset covers details of war that I had never considered. The Vietnam solider had more to worry about than just the Viet Cong; the jungle was almost just as dangerous.

I practically could not put the book down once he started his service in the field. There is one page in particular that I don't think I'll ever forget. At the top of the page I was laughing, but by the bottom of the page I felt sorrow. That must have been just a sample of the emotional rollercoaster that Vietnam was for many vets.

Midway through the book Soiset is taken out of the field and put into a desk job. I was a bit disappointed and afraid that the rest of the book would be boring. I could not be more wrong. Who knew that Army logistics could be so interesting?

Overall, I highly recommend this book. It is easy and entertaining to read. It should also elicit a bit more respect for America's vets.

                  Pellucidar: The Inner World volume 2 - Tanar of Pellucidar & Tarzan at the Earth's Core. In the living world inside our earth danger lurks at every turn as a new empire grows. In the second volume of Leonaur's Pellucidar: the Inner World series two complete novels, Tanar of Pellucidar and Tarzan at the Earth's Core, continue the story of David Innes, the intrepid explorer who is forging a new empire in the savage inner world that is more alien than any distant planet. Everything we expect of an Edgar Rice Burroughs tale is here: beautiful, scantily clad maidens, mighty warriors, civilizations both sophisticated and savage, a menagerie of weird and wonderful creatures and Tarzan, one of the greatest heroes in all of literature. This is unforgettable and timeless scientific romance in the great tradition!

                  Our trip through the earth's crust was but a repetition of my two former journeys between the inner and the outer worlds. This time, however, I imagine that we must have maintained a more nearly perpendicular course, for we accomplished the journey in a few min- utes' less time than upon the occasion of my first journey through the five-hundred-mile crust. Just a trifle less than seventy-two hours after our departure into the sands of the Sahara, we broke through the surface of Pellucidar.

                  5 out of 5 stars Even better than the first book........2007-04-20

                  This is the sequel to At The Earth's Core. Some of the reviews here say that it isn't quite as good as the first. I happen to think that it's a little bit better. Burroughs seems to avoid some of the continuity errors he made in the first book, and really it's quite a worthy addition to any adventure-reader's library.

                  5 out of 5 stars Leonaur Ltd. is publishing the definitive Edgar Rice Burroughs 21st century editions........2007-04-13

                  Leonaur Ltd. is publishing the definitive Edgar Rice Burroughs 21st century editions. These usually contain 2 books of the different ERB major series in order - thus far John Carter, Pellucidar, and Carson of Venus. In the future, possibly Tarzan!
                  These books are handsome and my rating is mainly based on this - the ERB fan knows best about the rest of it.
                  This second volume of Pellucidar novels reflects a sharp drop in quality form the first. Nevertheless, for completists, this beautiful edition is a must. And second grade ERB is usually better than most of other fantasy/science fiction/romance writers' first grade.

                  4 out of 5 stars Lost on Pellucidar.......2006-07-02

                  This is the sequel to At the Earth's Core. That book ended with the hero, David Innes, back on the surface world and separated from his mate, Dian the Beautiful. In this book, he returns to Pellucidar to get her back. This is a formula in many Edgar Rice Burroughs books; the hero becomes separated from his lady love, and has a series of adventures until he is reunited with her. It may be a formula, but it's a successful one. Sure, the plots may be similar, but there are always different strange, exotic worlds to encounter. There was a reason ERB was the most popular pulp writer of his time. Fans of pulp fiction will enjoy this book.

                  5 out of 5 stars The return to Pellucidar!.......2005-02-07

                  At the end of "At the Earth's Core", David Innes, our everyman-now-Emperor, has returned to the outer world, with an ugly reptilian Mahar instead of his lovely Dian.

                  He vows to return, and here, in the second book of this particular series, he does exactly that.

                  Once again, Burroughs' simple vivid prose describes one thrilling adventure after another, in full cinematic glory. There are brutal hand-to-hand combat scenes, jungle hunts, mountaineering escapades and even a sea-faring battle. All this in under 200 pages (per my Canaveral Press copy). ERB doesn't waste a lot of words.

                  You just have to love the lot of characters on display here. The names alone generate all sorts of mental images: King Gr-Gr-Gr, Hooja the Sly One, Ghak the Hairy One, the Mahars, the Sagoths, the massive lidi, the hyaenadons Raja and Ranee...

                  Over the course of two books, you'll be hard pressed NOT to cheer for the indefatigable David Innes. He's an old-fashioned, capital-H hero; plucky, smart and brave, yet human. After all, this adventure is what happens to him while he searches for his beloved Dian.

                  There are two high compliments I'd like to offer:

                  One, is that upon finishing one book I cannot wait to read the next.

                  Two, is that in this modern age of film, only with computer imagery could they reproduce the fabulous vistas of Pellucidar, with the overhead "horizons" and that low-lying, rotating pendant moon.

                  The compliment is that it would never be as "fabulous" as those ERB created inside my head.

                  5 out of 5 stars A Feast for the Imagination.......2003-09-10

                  In this, his second novel set in the savage world of Pellucidar, Edgar Rice Burroughs returns his hero David Innes to the earth's core. In relatively formulaic ERB style, David's stone-age empress Dian the Beautiful has been stolen from him by Hooja the Sly One, and he sets off against daunting odds across a primitive world to rescue her. He is aided by advanced technology (such as firearms) brought with him from the surface, and the innovations of his dear friend, the scientist Abner Perry.

                  This is relatively light weight science fiction, but as always Burroughs fast moving plot and adventurous style keep the pages turning like lightning. My father once reccomended this to me when I was in grade school and I simply fell in love with ERB, and I have recently been able to share the pleasure by passing on my small collection of Burroughs novels to my younger brother (now aged 12). . . after rereading them of course. He's become hooked as well, and now will not stop pestering me to find him a copy of book 3.

                    5 out of 5 stars A Tarzan At Earth's Core sequel with Predators along for the ride!.......2005-09-11

                    Make no mistake, although this is billed as "Tarzan vs. Predator", it's much more of a Tarzan story than a Predator one (though the lack of personality in the Predators keep them from sometimes being the main characters even in their own stories, so this isn't unprecedented). With or without the Predators, the cool thing here is Tarzan's return to Pellucidar, making this a direct sequel to the Burroughs story of Tarzan's first visit to the Earth's Core.

                    Walt Simonson is one of the true grandmasters of comics, both as a writer and as an artist. Here, doing the writing only, he turns in a great story that will make you want to read more Walt Simonson Tarzan stories. He understands the characters much better than some of Dark Horse's other Tarzan writers. He does a fine job with the Predators as well, but their role in the story, though important, isn't nearly as big as Tarzan's.

                    Lee Weeks is one of the most underrated artists in comics, and he does his usual fine work here. He's one of those guys that you wonder why he isn't a superstar.

                    RECOMMENDED!

                    The history is just.............stupid, but the comic is filled with action.

                    5 out of 5 stars TARZAN'S GREATEST CHALLENGE - PREDATOR!.......2004-08-28

                    I own all of these comics, and thought this was definately one of the best franchise fits that I've just about ever seen.

                    Great storyline, along with awesome artwork made this a major hit out of a huge fan of both franchises. A movie and/or animae would do this proud - and I'll bet - sell millions.

                    Great stuff!

                    4 out of 5 stars Kreegah!! The Predators are just an afterthought........2001-11-20

                    I'm not too familiar with Burroughs' Tarzan work outside of the Movies and Comics, so the first half of this book had my mind swimming. There isn't enough recap for a Tarzan newbie like me; I bought it for the Predators, and, (sadly) they seem to be an afterthought in the plot. On the plus side, the book really picks up steam in the second half, and by the end I was totally engrossed.

                    Walt Simonson's story is pretty decent, as is Lee Weeks' art. Predator fans might be disappointed, but it's still entertaining.

                    Fans who enjoy this should check out Batman/Tarzan: Claws of the Catwoman. Great stuff!

                    5 out of 5 stars Comic book stuff, in this case, a good thing........1998-07-13

                    Congratulations to Dark Horse! Perhaps, just perhaps, the inclusion of alien Preditors is the right touch to entice modern readers to Burroughs' jungle man. Here is an excellent effort!

                    Book Description

                    Continuing the saga of Pellucidar, the empire located in the Earth's hollow center, Tarzan at the Earth's Core is the fourth work in this classic series. The American explorer and emperor of Pellucidar, David Innes, has been captured by the deadly Korsar pirates. Picking up on the desperate cries for help emanating from Pellucidar, Jason Gridley of Tarzana brings the message to the only person who can help, Tarzan of the Apes. Together young Gridley and Lord Greystoke travel to the exotic and strange realm within the Earth to save the imprisoned ruler. Unaccustomed to the difficulties of Pellucidar, the two struggle in its savage environment, with its eternal noon and bizarre monsters, in their quest to save Innes and the precarious rule he has established. Sean McMullen provides an introduction for this Bison Books edition.

                    4 out of 5 stars Read it as a teen, read it again at forty........2007-03-15

                    I found myself less tolerant of the Red Flower of Zoram this time around, perhaps because by forty I had myself been in relationships where you never know if she loves you or thinks you are a jalok. And there seems little reason for it. When David Innes insulted Dian or John Carter insulted Dejah Thoris, those were some heavy insults, for all that the heroes didn't intend them. Jason's crime seems rather minor. I actually found myself wishing she'd just get over herself.

                    OK, now that that's out of the way...
                    This is a wonderful adventure story. Pellucidar is it's old horizonless, timeless self, and we see new areas and new peoples. Tarzan is in fine form, and has to deal with a problem he's never had before: he gets lost in the jungle! There are savages, pirates, reptile-men, pterodactyls, and ape-men whom the Lord of the Jungle finds strangely familiar. There are a few many coincidences near the end, but all in all, you can do worse, but might not do better.

                    3 out of 5 stars good but no At the Earth's Core.......2007-02-10

                    In this book, Burroughs had an interesting conceit of crossing his most famous creation into one of his other worlds, thus establishing a patchwork universe where Mars, Venus, Pellucidar, Caspak, Tarzan, and almost all ERB's other stories take place. This book is exciting and colorful but suffers from a single glaring flaw. While in almost every ERB books there is a love interest, in this one, it seems merely perfunctory. Jana and Jason never establish any chemistry during their brief time together, and Jana is a resourceful and blandly attractive if also vapid and petulant heroine. Given the fact that the love story does little but weigh the story down--Jana at one point reflects Jason would not have abandoned her as Tarzan seemed to, though there is no reason she should think this--it probably would have been best to remove it altogether. Probably her uninteresting presentation is why Jana is never mentioned again after this book. In At the Earth's Core, Pellucidar, Tanar of Pellucidar, Back to the Stone Age, and Savage Pellucidar, ERB has his Inner World heroes romance and succeed through sheer determination with their love interests. Here the love story is just dead weight that gets in the way of an otherwise enjoyable adventure story. That said, though, the book is engaging and at least partially makes up for an otherwise unsatisfying romance at its core.

                    5 out of 5 stars Heart Warming Pulp Adventure.......2006-08-16

                    Tarzan at the Earth's Core by Burroughs is a heart warming tale of loyalty, romance, and adventure set in the hollow earth setting of Pellucidar. Like all of the other tales set in this world it is full of prehistoric creatures of the various periods and peopled by the most anachronistic cast of characters ever assembled. There are pirates, Vikings, cavemen, and intelligent apes as well as some wonderful made up races such as the evolved reptilian race that enjoy feasting on human flesh. Tarzan, of course, finds himself at home in the jungles of this world, and the supporting characters are heroic and delightful to become acquainted with. Even if you have never read a novel set in this world, a fan of pulp should do oneself a favor and pick this one up. It may not be the best place to start on your journey into hollow earth, but it is at least a start.

                    4 out of 5 stars Tarzan joins Jason Gridley in a rescue mission to Pellucidar.......2003-11-27

                    "Tarzan at the Earth's Core" is unique in the Edgar Rice Burroughs ouvre because it is a crossover novel. This was the 13th Tarzan novel and the 4th Pellucidar story and not surprisingly ends up being one of the better offerings in both series. Originally published as a seven-part serial in "The Blue Book Magazine" in 1929-30. The story fits better into the Pellucidar series, where it works mainly as a sequel to "Tanar of Pellucidar," and it is Tarzan fans who would be more lost in this one than readers of the Pellucidar books. The plot is standard fare for a ERB novel, involving a rescue mission, with the key difference between not so much Tarzan's involvement as the idea that the person who needs to be rescued is not a damsel in distress but David Innes, first Emperor of Pellucidar.

                    Innes is being held in the dungeons of the Korsars, and Jason Gridley (inventor of the Gridley wave that allowed ERB to "receive" the Martian stories from John Carter, which accounts for the other major ERB series) persuades Tarzan to come along fr the fun. Gridley builds a zeppelin and uses it to descend into the land of Pellucidar (do not get me started on the physics involved in a lighter than air ship descending to the Earth's core. Once in Pellucidar Tarzan and Gridley have their separate adventures, and ERB seems to go out of his way to come up with new races of people (e.g., the Horibs) and prehistoric type creatures to beleaguer both of the book's heroes. The romance, of course, happens with Gridley, who meets Jana, the Red Flower of Zoram. Even everybody gets back together and they remember why they came to Pellucidar in the first place.

                    "Tarzan at the Earth's Core" is a solid ERB pulp fiction yarn all things considered. What makes it work is that Tarzan has some competition for the role of hero in the story. He is more of a major supporting character than the lead, because Gridley is the leader of the expedition and even disadvantaged in the jungles of Pellucidar, where Tarzan finds himself quite at home, even with that weird burning sun in the sky that never sets, manages to hold his own for the most part. Burroughs also includes the set up for the next Pellucidar novel, when Lieutenant Wilhelm Von Horst, the mate of the zeppelin, vanishes. Unfortunately he would have to wait until 1935 to be rescued in "Back to the Stone Age." Meanwhile, Tarzan would go back to his usual run of episodes back in Africa.

                    2 out of 5 stars Not As Good As the Others.......2002-12-29

                    Edgar Rice started a brilliant series with energy, but in this fourth installment, he fails to capture the full mystery and awe presented in his first three installments of the Pellucidar Series. By "Tarzan at the Earth's Core", you can tell the Pellucidar Series is starting to lose steam.
