This is another outstanding Clive Cussler book! If you are like me, a railfan, model railroader, or just into early 20th Century history, this book is for you. Action, suspense, good guys and bad guys, you will not be disappointed. Lots of references to both real and fictitious people and places during the hey day of Railroad empires, detective work by a company like the Pinkerton's for example. Once you pick this up to read, give yourself ample time, you won't want to put it down. Enjoy!
