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)

So Entertaining!

Any additional comments?

This book kept me entertained from beginning to end. I liked getting into the mind of the nemesis and also the good guy. I typically prefer books in current day settings, but I love this one and plan to listen to others in the series. I also appreciated learning some history along the way.

Great Book

I was looking for something different to read. This was. 1900 setting, bank robbers, chase.
Worth the read and/or listen.

A movie played in my head

Would you listen to The Chase again? Why?

Maybe, I rarely listen to anything twice because I already know the ending

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Chase?

The high speed car chase from Frisco came alive with the dust and grit and sounds, I was envisioning Clark Gable as the detective, and Anthony Hopkins as the villain, and I was actually envisioning it in technicolor like a movie shot in the 60's.

Good story had to go back to the start to refresh

Very good tale wished it could have been longer with more detail. Great story though!

Outstanding, hard to stop listening

This is one of Clives best. It was hard not to shut it off. I haven't read or listened to any of his books I didn't like. I look forward to the next.
