About this listen

Hired to fly four racing buffs to the track, pilot Matt Shore expects it will be the kind of job he likes: quick and easy. Until, that is, he’s forced to make an emergency landing just minutes before the plane explodes.

Luckily, no one is hurt, but it isn’t long before Matt realises that he’s caught up in the rat race of violent criminals who are dead-set on putting anyone who stands in their way on the wrong side of the odds.

Another absolute blinder from Dick Francis, enjoyed every minute of it. If the recording is old and crackles a bit it adds to it being a old story

Another hit!

Excellent

I read all the Dick Francis books as a teen, which was long enough ago to have forgotten the stories. But I hadn't forgotten how enjoyable they are. Enjoyed this one and liked the way it was read.

Loved it.

I think Tony Britton is the usual narrator for the Dick Francis books but Ian Ogilvy was good. I read this book years ago but it was good to come back and listen to it.

Good story, good audio, good narrator.
