Title: Good writing, poor plot
Review: "Second Wind" is clearly written by a master of language. Dick Francis is able to evoke vivid word pictures and draw fine characters with a minimum of strong, well-chosen words. And as usual, he weaves a tale which is intricately involved in a specialized background. For Francis fans, these observations aren't a surprise. What is a surprise is the setting: weather forcasting! Airplanes. Biology. Radioactivity. What is a further surprise is that the novel was actually dull. The plot itself strained credibility: a group of 'average' people who were brokering radioactive materials, spying, murdering each other, and breeding mushrooms and diseased cattle. More than I could follow, or care about.Keep your writing skills polished, Dick, but go back to the stables. I liked you better on the racetrack.
