Product Description

At nearly 18, easy-going Benedict Juliard has no stronger ambition than to ride in steeplechases as an amateur jockey. His father, George, driven towards a life of public service and politics, asks his son to enter into a pact that neither of them will commit any act that could destroy the father's growing reputation and career. Ben agrees, but five years later finds himself targeted in a vicious attack, and as George makes his ambitious drive toward the Prime Ministership and occupancy of 10 Downing Street, Ben is plunged into a frightening morass of lies and treachery.

I have read almost all of Dick Francis' books and this book really surprised me. Instead of giving me just a rollercoaster-ride, this book went from suspense to Literature. The wonderful character-building and the heart-warming story of a boy growing to be a man and his relationship with his father, is just beautifully written.

There aren't many horses in it, but who cares with qualities like the ones I've just mentioned?

Japanese woman in early 30's. Dick Francis never let me down. 10lb Penalty also became one of my favourites. Dick Francis always gives me thrill, excitement, real personality, a quite a few sentences which amazingly share my feelings and emotion in everyday life. As I am Japanese, I am most grateful of his high standard English from which I can learning much better than language text books. I wish to thank Mr. Francis personaly for giving me these opportunities. I am certain to read all of his books in near future.

This is way below par for Dick Francis. A ponderous, weak storyline where very little really happpens and characters that are instantly forgettable.

Sorry but there's much, much better elsewhere. Try 'Wild Horses' by the same author instead.
