Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 18
Harrison Foster is a lawyer by training but works as a crisis manager for a London firm that specialises in such matters. Summoned to Newmarket after a fire in the Chadwick Stables slaughters six very valuable horses, including the short-priced favourite for the Derby, Harry (as he is known) finds there is far more to the ‘simple’ fire than initially meets the eye. For a start, human remains are found amongst the equestrian ones in the burnt-out shell. All the stable staff are accounted for, so who is the mystery victim?

Not yet his father
Revisado: 05-19-23
Firstly, let me say I love Dock Francis books for a light read. His mastery of research, atmosphere and understated prose elevates his work. I have read his collaborations with Felix, and enjoyed them as well, and was looking forward to this book. Unfortunately there were far more negatives than positives, and I really hope Felix matures into a style which does credit to his father. Positive first - the plot was well thought out, and this shows Felix has great potential. However, there was WAY too much over-explaining, as if the reader would struggle to connect the dots. This could have been written for early teens, rather than adults, and it became irritating. The romance was also completely overdone, and became cloyingly sweet at times. In both respects, Dick used subtlety to great effect, while still expressing the same depth of emotion, and it worked wonderfully. Felix needs to acquire that skill, and the sooner the better. There were also unwelcome levels of pomposity and phoniness, although this may well have been exaggerated by the narrator, who was awful. In turn pompous, simpering, sarcastic, whiney, nasal and superior. A very unpleasant listening experience for an adult. However, Dick Francis fans can read it for the skeleton of the story, which shows some promise for the future of the line.

After 9/11, the United States made one of the most secretive and dangerous deals in its history. The evidence against the powerful Saudis who coordinated the attack would be buried. In return, King Faisal would promise to keep the oil flowing and deal with the conspirators in his midst. When the king's own nephew is discovered funding ISIS, the president suspects that the Saudis never intended to live up to their agreement.

Huge Mitch Rapp fan, but disappointed in Mills
Revisado: 04-06-20
Part of Vince's talents were portraying a hero who, while exceptionally good at what he did, was never overstated. Mills has been overloading the hero-worship and creating some stupid scenarios involving Rapp and/or others (including the ridiculous one with Joe Rickman instigating his own brutal torture), and sometimes making him almost superhuman. This over-the-top writing has taken away from Vince Flynn's unique essence, and I am hugely disappointed. PLEASE read Vince's work again, and start being true to his formula.

CIA counterterrorism operative Mitch Rapp falls prey to government forces with an agenda of their own after Dr. Irene Kennedy is named the successor to dying CIA Director Thomas Stansfield—a choice that enrages many inside the world’s most powerful intelligence agency. Her detractors will resort to extreme measures to prevent her from taking the reins—which makes Rapp an expendable asset. But Mitch Rapp is no one’s pawn, and he will stop at nothing to find out who has set him up.

Worth it
Revisado: 05-16-16
While not quite as charismatic as Guidall, the narrator was pretty good. The "lack of an ending" is nothing like that, just that the thread continues in the next book.
