About this ebook

Gibson can hear the beat of the horses’ hooves against the track. Trotter are the world to him. But all he ever does is practice. He’s still too young and inexperienced to drive in a real race. Only he knows he’s ready for the big league. If people would give him a chance, then they would know it, too.

Gib’s chance comes in a filly named Rosalind. Now Gib can prove that he’s man enough to train a champion. But does he really have what it takes? Can he and Rosalind go all the way to win the Hambletonian, the greatest race of all?

    The Gemini Factor is a tightly-plotted, well-planned thriller. This book has many twists and turns. Very well written and fully developed characters. Loved the book!

    I love, love, love this book! A definite favorite as a teen. Two stories in one - Gibson's harness-racing horse, Rosalind, and the legendary horse Hambletonian, the "Father of the American Trotter". Good horse-lover's book...

    I have always loved this book within a book, which tells not only the story of our main character and his filly Rosalind, but the story of Hambletonian, the foundation stallion of the Standardbred breed.
