"This is the life," Derek said. He grinned at lan, all his annoyance of a few moments ago now forgotten.
"What?" The roar of the engine made conversation difficult.
"I said, this is the life." He grinned again, for Ian still had not heard. "Oh... forget it!"

Really a quite moving, quiet account of a fifteen year-old boy's first encounter with personal tragedy. A sequel of sorts to Rees's "The Exeter Blitz" as the main character of "Risks" is the son, some thirty years later, of that book's hero. One of Rees's best coming of age novels.
