There is a crazed husband, a lover, the Van Dorn Detective Agency, regular people and wealthy alike all trying to win the flying machine race from New York to San Francisco. Many horrible things happen along the way. Per usual Isaac Bell needs to have his superhuman powers to come to the rescue. The book was given four stars in this review. It is a good story. Un premio de cincuenta mil dólares provocará un sinfín de consecuencias inesperadas en el Nueva York de 1910. Preston Whiteway, dueño de un gran imperio periodístico, ha ofrecido esta elevada cantidad al primer aviador que logre cruzar Estados Unidos en cincuenta días. Josephine Frost, aviadora osada, es la candidata con más posibilidades y la preferida del magnate, pero su marido, de quien acaba de separarse, está decidido a vengarse de ella de la peor de las maneras. El detective privado Isaac Bell será el encargado de protegerla. Fourth book in the Isaac Bell series.... trains, submarine, cars, and now airplanes! Nowhere near as good of writing as previous books in the series... I believe Clive has handed off the majority of the writing to Mr Scott for this series... it was an ok story, but was really a bit of a letdown overall in execution... Bought the paperback in 2012, and the audio in 2013, and reread it every year or so. Guilty of adoring anything Cussler, and totally admiring Isaac Bell, but it is the story itself that keeps me coming back. Long ago, I checked up on Cussler's background facts and was satisfied that the historical researches are solid background for the fictional protagonists and the imaginative stories themselves. Isaac works for the Van Dorn Detective Agency (We never give up. Never), and not only investigates the sabotage interfering with this epic air race (across the US) and murders along the way, but also learns to fly planes as avant garde as his automobiles (Cussler is noted for his vintage auto collection). Fast paced and totally absorbing, this one will keep your nose glued to the page. Scott Brick gives his usual stellar audio performance. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Gehört zur ReiheIsaac Bell (4) Prestigeträchtige Auswahlen
Bell has never encountered a case- and an enemy- quite like the one before him now, though. It is 1910, the age of flying machines is still in its infancy, and newspaper publisher Preston Whiteway is offering $50,000 for the first daring aviator to cross America in less than fifty days. He is even sponsoring one of the prime candidates- an intrepid aviatrix named Josephine Frost- and that's where Bell, chief investigator for the Van Dorn Detective Agency, comes in. Frost's violent-tempered husband has just killed her lover and tried to kill her, and he is bound to try again. Bell has tangled with Harry Frost before, and knows the man has made his millions leading gangs of thieves, murderers, and thugs in every city across the country. He also knows Frost won't be after just his wife, but after Whiteway as well. And Bell knows that if he takes the case, Frost will be after him, too.--From front book jacket.
