The Race

By: Clive Cussler, Justin Scott

Narrated by: Scott Brick

Detective Isaac Bell returns, in the remarkable new adventure from the #1 New York Times-bestselling author.

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 woman 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 make another attempt. Bell has tangled with Harry Frost before; he knows that the man has made his millions leading gangs of thieves, murderers, and thugs in every city across the country. He also knows that Frost won't be only after his wife, but after Whiteway as well. And if Bell takes the case . . . Frost will be after him, too.

Critic reviews

“Bell just keeps getting more interesting. Cussler is turning out some of his best work.” —Booklist

Great and entertaining the whole time

Recommend to anyone, nicely done. Another great book by Clyde Cussler. Very entertaining. Can't wait to start another of his books.

Another Great Detective Story

Great addition to the Bell series. Plenty of action and excitement. Nothing fancy but a darn good read.

Flight History entwined with intrigue.

Isaac Bell, wish there were more FBI agents like him. He always gets his man and is romantic at the same time. He learns to fly in this issue. I don't know what else he might accomplish.

Awesome!

I love this series from Clive Clusser. They make you wish you lived in the golden age of transportation! Great story and great reader. It would make a great movie too.

Entertaining With History Entwined

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Yes, the plot did keep me entertained but not to the point of sitting on the edge of my seat.

What does Scott Brick bring to the story that you wouldn???t experience if you just read the book?

To me Scott Brick is the voice of Issaic Bell. He has just the right innotation for the character.
