Book submitted under the .rtf section of the website.

Is an excellent scan, minus the ads at the back I got lazy after a while, as 
well, I was done reading the book so a bit more careless with removing junk. 
250 pages or so.

From the Book jacket:
He gave no command. He barely had time to close his knees before Flame was 
off, stretching out as he had not done before.
Only twice during the long ride up the valley floor did Steve call to him, 
and then he spoke softly into the pricked ears. "Run, Flame! Run!" He had 
learned long ago never to shout, only to whisper to Flame. He saw his 
stallion make for the band, the mares and foals scattering at his swift 
approach. Flame turned on winged hoofs and Steve shifted with him; then he 
went all out down the valley and Steve had to close his eyes against the 
force of the wind Flame created. He pressed his head against the stallion's 
mane and neck. He was content to let Flame run as long and as fast as the 
horse liked. He'd know when the ride was over. But now he was one with 
Flame.

Steve Duncan loved Azul island and the band of horses that lived there.  But 
he dreamed and hoped that some day he might race the beautiful and wild 
stallion Flame.  When he has two unexpected visitors from another planet Jay 
and Flick, things happen that change Steve and Flame's lives forever.  This 
is the third in the Island Stallion series, and Walter Farley's only attempt 
at science fiction.  Fans of the Black Stallion will love this story of the 
great Red Stallion Flame.

The vision must be followed by the venture. It is not enough to
stare up the steps - we must step up the stairs.
