Flying Finish (Francis Thriller)

Product Information

At the outbreak of World War II he joined the Royal Air Force as a pilot, flying fighter and bomber aircraft including the Spitfire and Lancaster. A range of characters with a mix of qualities and values that had me cheering for the good guy while recognizing the flaws in all of us.

I did make it to the end so it wasn't a dead loss, but I would recommend other Dick Francis books ahead of this one, especially For Kicks, Odds Against, or his first novel Dead Cert. Handcrafted from high-quality metal and finished in an authentic aged bronze effect for added grandeur, this sculpture would look ideal placed within a body of water or large garden pond.

A wonderful way to really level-up any outdoor setting, this sculpture will provide a sense of calm to any space for many years to come.

There's the usual quiet, but secretly strong hero, getting mixed up with crooks and finding love along the way, also having his ass kicked by the bad guys but getting the better of them through sheer perseverance and endurance. He would be a groom on the flights from England to various places in Europe and even the United States at times. What rather spoilt it for me was the complicated, puzzling motives behind the final violent confrontation, which involves some sort of Cold War defection, which I still can't figure out in how it relates to the general plot!

The youngest child of rich, neglectful parents, Henry Grey was occasionally accused of being an overgrown brat.Then Grey discovers that both his predecessors went missing in mysterious circumstances and begins to doubt the wisdom of his career change. A loner, with a bit of an inferiority complex and a chip on his shoulders, Henry lives his life in boxes. 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. Of course later we could look back and see all the clues, but we had both been too distracted by various things in the story to pick up on them right away.

Red boards with gold lettering on the spine, Very good book with a little spotting on the top edge and light ring mark on the front board. 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. I must admit though that I was a bit disappointed with the sudden ending as I like my endings to tell me the end and not leave me guessing. The heroes aren't always horse jockies, they can be film producers, or involve heroes engaged in peripheral professions that somehow always touch the horse racing world. When it did finally get into thriller mode the plot was ok, if a little predictable about who the 'baddies' were, but by then I was fairly bored and had no empathy for the hero.

Use it as an adhesive for eyes, a thick head cement, quick-building clear back for scuds, or instant repair for damaged flies. Lighting products may require a lead time to produce and will also be sent on a next day service where available as soon as the product is ready. These blanks do not require finishing – there is no coating that can be applied that is tougher than the acrylic and getting a coating to even adhere to the surface is very difficult.
