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.

Not his usual and still great!

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

I thought that it was slow getting going for a while. It's a bit difficult to sort out all the names but enjoyable.

The very clear speech of the read and his pace of speaking

I couldn't put it down and housework etc . was done with it as accompaniment. Not a lot of the science was understandable to me, butit didn't detract from the story as the overall weather conditions were obvious. As always our hero was super human, but that all added to the fun. A great read and Tony Britton's voice is so right.

Goes at a fast pace.

Francis at his best. Fast paced and intriguing. Absolutely loved it and burnt midnight oil

Riveting from start to finish.

Never tire of reading Frances' novels nor of listening to Tony Britton bring them alive

First Class

This story just didn't work as well as Dick Francis novels usually do. The research wasn't good enough to make it believable.

Not up to the usual standard
