Critic reviews

"Cussler takes a breather from his several ongoing series with this historical thriller set in the western states, circa 1906. The U.S. government hires the renowned Van Dorn Detective Agency and its equally renowned lead agent, Isaac Bell, to capture the bank robber known as the Butcher Bandit....Once San Francisco gets hit by the 1906 earthquake and the principals climb aboard a pair of fire-breathing locomotives, the novel cranks up a head of steam and some high-speed thrills." ( Publishers Weekly)

The Chase

It rolled on with such fluidity that I felt like I was back in the early 1900s. The way it was introduced intrigued me and sucked me in to an incredible story that felt like a roller coaster ride till the very end.

Cussler does it again!

I have loved Clive Cussler since my Dad introduced me to Dirk Pitt in Cyclops when I was 13. His Isaac Bell books are just as intense and mind absorbing. I love reading them.

Great read!!!

Not knowing what to expect, I was definetly impressed with the pace, suspense and intensity of this book. Definitely an interesting read considering the time frame it was based on in 1906. I highly recommend it.

I love the chase.

This was my first read of Clive Cussler, but it will not be my last. I look forward to reading some of his other books.

Cussler still entertains and keeps you on the edge

I thought I was over Clive Cussler? I have read all the Dirk Pitt books. As much as I loved them, the recipe of Cussler's storytelling was getting repetitive. I told myself I would swear off of Cussler books for a while. Especially because I am no longer sure if he is writing them or the publisher is just using his name. I was in the mood for a good old fashioned adventure book and this one caught my eye. I decided to give Clive another chance. I am glad I did. I was thoroughly entertained. I loved all the detail about trains and the early cars of the 1900's. Thanks Clive....or whoever you are using his recipe!
