Train Man

De: P. T. Deutermann

Narrado por: Bruce Reizen

Only six major rail bridges cross the Mississippi River and connect one half of our country to the other. When one of them collapses as a freight train is crossing, the FBI sends agents Hush Hanson and Carolyn Lang to investigate. Hush and Carolyn suspect a bomb, but there are no clues to suggest who planted it.

Meanwhile, at an Alabama army depot, a military train carrying a deadly cargo begins its journey west. This train must cross the Mississippi before its cargo becomes unstable - and then another bridge goes down.

As more bridges go down and the plight of the doomsday train intensifies, it becomes ever more obvious that Hanson is being set up to take a fall as part of some bureaucratic political intrigue within the FBI.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Intelligent, expertly detailed, and highly suspenseful, Train Man is a speeding entertainment locomotive." ( Publishers Weekly)

Great Listen

This book was amazing. Flows well and brings the listener into the world of "The Train Man".

well done

two problems meet head on at the end. great detail and it holds your interest.

Very Good Story

One of the main characters in this story is the politics inside major agencies in D.C. — the Dark State — and their relationship with State agencies. This is a major theme of this story. The plot involves a man who is disgruntled with railroad companies (with good reason). Train man is destroying the six major railroad bridges across the Mississippi River, which is throwing railroad shipping in the U.S. into chaos. I am a Deutermann fan. I have read most of his books. This is a good one.

Several of Deutermann’s stories involve the machinations of State and federal bureaucracies, so I imagine Deutermann has had a lot of experience with this. It seems to be on his mind when he writes.

This is a real locomotive of a novel!

This is the type of book that would make a great movie! I’m a model railroader, and this book is an inspiration for train building. I can visualize the train and its lethal cargo now! Any person will enjoy this, regardless of interest in trains.

In my opinion, not the best PT work

I don't know how to explain it but this book did not flow as well as some of his other ones. His WW2 books are great but this just didnt measure up to them.

Captivating Novel!

Once again PT does a spectacular job of melding heart-stopping action with intrigue, suspense and a touch of romance to produce a story you can't stop listening to.
This novel proves that PT can handle any scenario, from Military through Police and every segment of law enforcement. Just when you think he has used everything, TRAINS! Excellent story line and characters the reader immediately understands and relates to.
I can't wait for the next one.

The train man did not disappoint

The performance & the book content were both excellent, I thoroughly enjoyed it. The only problem with his books are they are very difficult to put down & tend to keep you up way too late. I had not heard of this narrator before but he was very good with this story. I would certainly listen to another book with him again.

Don't miss this one! Another great novel.

He did it again. Keeping us in suspense. His development of characters was superb. And the narration just added more to an already great novel. His detailed description of trains just put you there.

Who knew train bridges were so important?

I'm a massive PT Deutermann fan, and thus, I really enjoyed this book.

There isn't a lot to say about this book; it's not exactly a departure from the regular formula of a thriller novel, but I enjoy Deutermann's turn of phrase, and the level of character development; he shares the important points, but doesn't go into excessive detail.

Yay for trains!

Will be good if you are a train enthusiast

MacGyver's evil twin brother? I liked Zero Option better but the last quarter of the book was good. The author excellently wrapped everything up.
