Summary
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.

Great story, boring actor
Great story, especially if you are a pilot as this is about a private pilot who encounters difficulties; very good research as usual. However, I would have thought Ian Ogilvy would be a good narrator, but in truth, he's quite boring. Tony Brittan is king for sure, sad to hear that he passed away 2 weeks ago aged 91.

Loved it.
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.

Gripping
As usual, Dick Francis holds your attention right to the end. I found Ian Ogilvy’s slightly sardonic narration very in keeping with the character of the protagonist and enjoyed it.

Flight of quality
Dick Francis has yet again taken another aspect of life and mixed it with the world of racing and thrilled yet again.

Another hit!
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

Dull dull and yet more dull
Ian Ogilvy gives a one-dimensional and very dull reading of this rather trite and predictable story which will only really appeal to someone who's hooked on one- and two-engine planes. Yet another worthy but misunderstood hero who keeps coming to the rescue but rarely gets the credit. Where are all the interesting and entertaining characters who inhabited Francis' earlier novels? Not here, that's for sure. Not recommended.

Poor narration
A rather dated tale but a typical Dick Francis, so engrossing enough. However, having listened to the excellent narration of many of his books by Tony Britton, this was spoilt by Ian Ogilvy's narration,which I found very poor. A pity.
