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

Another winner for Issac Bell and Scott Brick

The Issac Bell series is the best thing to come out of Cussler since the early days of Dirk Pitt. These stories are just great for my long commutes. I looked forward to this for months and I was just thrilled when it came out. Planes, trains and automobiles! In my opinion Cussler is better at landlubber novels than he is at sea novels. But that's just me. As usual Scott Brick is outstanding. He could read the phone book and keep me listening.

it said I needed 15 words for a review

it was a swell book. It had to do with flying and such. good book.

1908 plane race across the USA, murder. sabotage.

As always Clive Cussler comes through with another winner. This is the 1st plane race that was created in 19 0 8 across the United States. Love affairs sabotage murder conspiracy mystery who could ask for anything more. The action is excellent the writing is superior the character development you can't do any better than Clive Cussler great read.

Doesn't feel like Cussler to me

Scott Brick is amazing as usual, but a really flat story. Isaac Bell is one of my favorite characters, but he was not given the best supporting cast. I hope The Striker is better

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.
