Flying Finish (Francis Thriller)

Product Information

So he decided to take a dirty demanding job transporting racehorses by air, much to his snobbish family’s horror.

As this is an older book of Francis', some of the language used can be harsh in terms of class and race perspectives.

Each duck features ornate detailing throughout as seen in their etched wings and life-like feathering, making each bird appear as if they are the real thing. You will come to love the world of Steeple Chase racing, you will grow a fondness for horses, stables, trainers and the people who live in that world. Beyond that, the book is pretty typical of the early DF books: very engaging, very British, and just a little bit brutal.

Vivid characters and strong, engrossing detail about a world most of us know nothing about, horse transport by air.

At the airfield where he learned to fly he's managed to keep his rank a secret and it's here he feels most at home. You will read the books, devouring one after the other and trust me Dick Francis has a lot of novels (over 40 by my last count).

The climax is riveting and if I have any reservations it's only because Henry Grey is not quite as interesting as the protagonists in most of the other books. black dust jacket with silver and white text is scuffed on the faces, the head and tail of the spine are bumped, in good condition , bound in black cloth with gilt stamped title to spine , 22 x 14 cm Hardback SIGNED by Author ISBN: 718117220. He works in an office that arranges for the transportation of racing horses to countries near and far, but he's bored with that and so takes a job on the planes that actually fly the horses from one destination to another. Flying Finish is one of Francis' odder books as the main character is the son of an Earl who seems to be drifting through life. FLOW is thin enough to be used as a head cement replacement, but strong enough to coat heads, bodies and buzzers.But he soon discovers that something else is going on in the guise of transporting horses,in his new job. Even if you know nothing about racing or horses Dick Francis can draw you in and hold your interest. He's happiest when he's piloting a small rented plane on his days off, alone in the skies over Britain.
