Crossfire Audiobook

" Good story very enjoyable thriller "

" I think that I can spot the hand of the son, but I will have to read more of the masters books, what a fantastic storyteller and worked for the Queen, what a life. "

" 3 stars isn't bad; it was entertaining. Quite different as this guy comes back from Afghanistan minus a limb and finds himself back in his disfunctional family. His mother is a world-class horse trainer and Tom Forsythe, our soldier, left in his teens to serve in the British Army. His is home because he is recovering from the amputation and on leave to do so. Lots of info about military procedures and horse racing finances. Francis makes it interesting but not compelling. "

" The son of Dick Francis keeps the faith in this novel. Really enjoyable read. "

" British novel about a Captain in the military who loses his lower leg in the Afghan war in 2009. He comes home to his mother's horse ranch and finds out she is being blackmailed because she hasn't paid her taxes in 4 years. Good read. "

" To a Dick Francis fan who has read his book's since day one the passing of the torch to his son Felix is sad yet necessary. Felix had an opportunity to learn from the master of racing intrigue and Crossfire is a good example that new books, comfortable settings, and his father's legacy will continue. Crossfire is well plotted, covers the aftermath of a war injury in a sensitive and realistic manner, and shows that family wounds can be healed as well. The adage that blood is thicker than water has some meaning in Crossfire. It is a book well worth reading. "

" Not my first Francis book, but as with the others it took awhile to get going. Once it did I was hooked. Nice it involved a current war. My favorite part was when he is figuring how to get out of his imprisonment. "

" Listened to this on a road trip. Well read, lots of action, really enjoyable. "

" liked it...interesting main character with an interesting problem....all his are like this I guess, but it moved right along and was a good mystery....I will miss Dick Francis, wonder if his son can keep going with his books.. "

" A classic Dick Francis adventure mystery. It's a quick easy read and doesn't disappoint. "

" condensed version "

" I have read ALL of his books and am sad that this is the last one. I will miss him. "

" Farewell, Dick Francis. You've entertained me for years. I enjoyed your last outing. I'll be interested to see if Felix continues the legacy. "

" I've read several of the Francis books and always enjoy them. This was no exception. "

" I have enjoyed reading many of Dick Francis books over the years. I thought the plot was well spun with enough twists and turns to keep the readers interest. Well done....this Dick Francis fan was not disappointed. "

" This is still seamless Dick Francis. If Felix can continue to write in his dad's tradition, with his own slant, of course, we'll continue to happy readers! "

" As a long time Francis follower (I have read them all), I enjoyed this book. The last few volumes with co-writer have been up to par - happy that the tradition continues! "

" As this was the first Francis book completed by the son Felix, I wasn't surprised not to find much of Dick Francis' influence in the book, but nevertheless it was a good read "

" Not one of his best, but enjoyable. "

" Another well written Francis novel. "

" If you like the Francis formula, this one's for you. Combine with a bit of Andy McNab, and it's pretty much for all blokes. Good plot, good subtext and a wee surprise at the end. "

" I like Dick Francis books. His first one (or was it more than one) written with his son was just OK. This one was better. Makes me thinks his son might be able to write on his own now that Dick Francis has passed away. "

" A fun, solid Dick Francis book. His son, Felix, isn't quite as good as his father, but it's still a fun, quick read. The best part of Dick Francis is that I always love the main character, and Felix is not able to do that as well. "

" A good summer read. A bit of a departure from the usual Dick Francis style--probably showing more of Felix's influence as I think it must have been completed after Dick died. I'm hoping for more. "

" A slightly less stoic and more dysfunctional hero than usual but this was an entertaining enough read following the Francis formula. "

" As a long-time Dick Francus fan, I went into this book expecting a good solid mystery. This is excellent! Here's hoping Felix Francis continues writing. "

" I liked it, despite the slightly boring tax/bank plot (bankstuff in general bores me).<br/>Did think it was a different style from the DF solo books - more swearing, more modern technology. "

" Slightly more predictable than the average Dick Francis, but still a fun read. "

" Not one of his best, but enjoyable. "

" Really liked this one--wanted to go out and get another Dick Francis book right away. "

" It's been awhile since I've read a Dick Francis book and this is the first one I read that his son worked on with him. It really moved along quickly - lots of action. "

" Dick Francis is/was one of my favourite authors, if not the favourite! He wrote this together with his son, and the book delivers. It feels the same as other Dick Francis books. I'm a fan! I loved this book! "

" Rest in Peace Dick Francis and thanks for the dozens of great books about the English Horseracing Industry. My hope is that his son, Felix, who co-authored his last five books will keep up the good work and continue the legacy. "
