About this listen

Perry Stuart is a TV meteorologist who routinely works before the cameras. His life calm and ordered, his face familiar to every British household, Stuart's profound weather knowledge and accuracy have given him high status among forecasters, but no physical baptism by storm. Not, that is, until a fellow forecaster offers him a Caribbean hurricane-chasing ride in a small aeroplane. By frightening accident, Stuart discovers secrets from the ride, and back in England he faces threats and danger as deadly as anything that nature can evolve.

Dick wins again leaving racing behind and going with the wind .Very well narrated as we expect from Tony Britten

it's a book of two winds. the first half not as good as the second. the microbiology a bit suspect, the meteorology interesting but not enough of it. it's a nice twist but you do need to suspend quite a lot of belief throughout.
too many female voices for Britton to cope with as well as he usually does. the nice suprise is that Bolinda offer an audio with few major recording errors being evident.

good but slightly inconceivable

Fantastic performance as usual. A departure from Francis' usual storyline and great for it! Highly recommend

Not his usual and still great!

Very well readbut the story was unbrlievsble. i think that when horses are the principal subject the storey line are hood but when they stray they are less good

i found the story unlikely
