Dick Francis was one of my favorite authors but his son has if anything a more deft hand with characters and plot. His Dad would be proud. Will buy everything he writes.

Not actually a sequel but Dick Francis’ son turns out to be as good a writer as his Dad, who was always one of my favorites. Not as much race track detail but even more intriguing character development. Absolutely worth listening to.

A reasonably believable plot with charm wit and style in great London and English locations.

He’s still very good but at this pint he was still fresh and particularly excited.

Best new book I've heard in a year or more. Original believable characters, unsuspected but well constructed plot developments. Fine performance. Will buy everything else he's written as soon as I am done.

I read this book in 1974 when it was first published and loved it. Had the chance to visit Gettysburg last month and saw the ground, decided to listen to it. Shaara’s book is a great work of art about a majestic event. The narrator is perfect. If you are interested in the Civil War or even if you are not it is a brilliant rendition of a brilliant book.

I have heard so many of her books on Audible but she continues to be both consistent and original with a jewelers eye for the tiny details of Venetian life and the ability to create characters that engage and are believable. The narrator is perfect.

Love this series and this was a good early one. Those who’ve read the later ones may be excused for wondering how Herbie Fisher the imbecile somehow morphed in Herbie the genius lawyer but the series is mostly so much fun that it’s hard to hold Woods to too strict consistency. And the narrator is perfect.

Classic Stuart Woods. I really like the narrator as well. Mindless but lots of fun.
