Flying Finish (Francis Thriller)

Product Information

It falters only in getting a little too hung up on some technical details and in the unavoidable, unfortunate fact that part of its plot has become history that no longer seems quite as shocking, but if that irks at all, there's always that incredible action sequence and a network of people passing on birth control for free to people who need it. The choices made are rational choices directed by a firm objective philosophy that belies all of Francis's novels. This was a bit of a different story for Francis but still had racing and involvement with the horse industry. 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. Near fine in unclipped VG+ jacket with a slight paper roll at spine head and a faint, slender stain at bottom margin of rear panel.

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. This was the first Francis book in my collection,and after that I became an avid collector of his books. At the beginning of the book, he takes a job helping to transport horses by plane which no one who knows him can understand. It's got a decent storyline of shady dealings in horseflesh trading, with interesting characters and lurking menace.

In May of this year we finished Dead Cert and we both enjoyed it, but I think we both enjoyed this one more. And when he discovers that he is transporting something altogether different, he has to fight to land with his life intact.

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. except in my case, I rather lack the nerves of steel and cold willpower that he eventually exhibits in the fight for life, limb, and justice. The man who owns the company humors Henry by giving him the job, but he's sure that the titled nobleman won't stick it out for very long. Externally, very smart, with only some minor shelfwear to the head and tail of the spine and extremities.

The last child and the only son in his family, he was largely ignored as a child and developed into something of a loner with few social skills.
