Other works: Jurassic Park, The Lost World
Synopsis:
A daring Englishman decides to pull of the crime of the century- rob 12,000 bullions in gold kept in two strong safes which are placed in a speeding train. The simplest solution- blow up the safes and escape with the loot using a racing car. But there is one problem- the year is 1854. So what? Well, dynamite has not yet been invented. So you can’t blow up the safe. And other than the train, the next fastest transport is a horse cart.
Follow Edward Pierce as he solves problem after problem in this thrilling adventure.
Plus Points: Crichton is a master storyteller. Pierce is a brilliant criminal mastermind. When two geniuses join hands you can do nothing but surrender.
Fascinating Fact: This is based on a true story.You can read more about it in
David C. Hanrahan: The First Great Train Robbery.
Remark: Go for it. There is never a dull moment.
Who should read this: Those who loved Ocean’s Eleven.
Who shouldn’t read this: Those who wish to read a philosophical book like The Alchemist. (I suggest they read The Five People You Meet In Heaven by Mitch Albom. I will be reviewing it next).
