Indy by Bob Judd
'Bob Judd has done it again. What a great story What an ingenious plot He gets the high powered, high risk world of international motor racing exactly right.down to the last detail. Read it ' -MURAY WALKER INDY is unusual. It's a powerful thriller, with the sensations and the champagne glamour of 230 mph race cars, a multi million dollar financial scam, sexy sex and rock and roll. But Bob Judd, the author of FORMULA ONE, also raises new and larger themes about power. About the power that controls the media and the banks. About the power that women hold over men. The story runs - with the speed of the tango orange and popeye green machines which lap at 220 mph - from Monte Carlo to Miami and New York City, from the Cayman Islands to Carefree, Arizona and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.with an occasional side trip via satellite.
I shot some 30 TV commercials with three-time world champion racing driver Jackie Stewart. At one point, Jackie said when he was driving really well, he always had plenty of time. That floored me. I'd driven racing cars, and I never had any time at all, arriving at corners, in Jackie's phrase, in a flurry of feathers and blood. But when Jackie was racing he had plenty of time because he could divide time into thousandths of a second. And I thought, if I could capture that intensity, ferocity and detail, I could put you behind the wheel of a Formula One car. I wrote my first novel, Formula One, and gave the manuscript to Jackie. He took it with him on a flight from London to San Francisco. You've done it, Bob, Jackie wrote on a postcard. You are the Dick Francis of motor racing. Bob Judd also writes under the pseudonym Forrest Evers.
