About this listen

 The world's toughest car race. Twenty-one days of searing heat and rock-hard desert tracks; of blowouts and breakdowns; of subterfuge and sabotage. Ten thousand miles of dust and glory. Driving at breakneck speed over Australia's roughest roads and through the most appalling conditions imaginable, six competitors break free from the pack and fight for the lead, gradually finding themselves entangled in a web of deceit, betrayal and danger. 'Dust and Glory' is best-selling author Evan Green's stirring account of the most gruelling race of them all ‒ a hair-raising, careering ride that accelerates to a gripping and unforgettable finish. Bolinda Audio wishes to advise that this audiobook contains strong language and adult themes which may be offensive to some listeners.©1990 Evan Green (P)2013 Bolinda Publishing Contemporary Fiction Genre Fiction

Humphrey Bower is the narrator; 'nough said!!

Not a challenging book, just an action packed, roller-coaster ride around 1950s Australia.
Well written, beautifully read, I loved it.

Fun, exciting, well read

What about Humphrey Bower’s performance did you like?

Good, but the voice of the female character was annoying and she came across as a meek and pathetic

Any additional comments?

The story line was a little predictable, but it is a good story well told and entertained whilst commuting

Not a bad story

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Highly recommend this book, get the real feeling of the ride across Australia. Will probably listen to it again at a later date

What was one of the most memorable moments of Dust and Glory?

Enjoyed every bit of the story. You can picture all the characters.

What does Humphrey Bower bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

He is a great story teller, has the right accent and sense of humour in his voice all Australians have that live in the outback. I wish he narrated more, but have listened to all the ones available on audio by him.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Definitely a story you want to continue listening to, hard to put it down

Any additional comments?

More stories like this one would be very welcome

a good ride
