The book was interesting and readable - but it was not Dick Francis. I have read other Felix Francis books that were better. I was a little put off by the frequent repetitions of the term "command voice" - yes, it's a valid concept but it seemed overused, or at least the descriptions seemed repetitive. I did NOT figure out the "surprise" ending, but I didn't find it all that surprising, either. I consumed this on audio, and it's not in any way a bad book for a long ride in the car, but there are other Dick Francis/Felix books that are much better.
