Summary: Full steam ahead
Review: A highly enjoyable, quick-paced book. MacLean has more hits on his list than misses, and this is near the top of the hits. You can't trust anyone on board the train to be telling the truth, even the hero. Great setting as the train chugs its way through the mountains; less enjoyable once the destination is reached, but we don't spend all that much time there. Truly, getting there is (more than) half the fun.

Summary: Watch that first step!
Review: I've read every book MacLean has written -- some of them two or three times. This was the hardest one to put down. I finished it in two days. Somewhat unusual setting for MacLean -- aboard a train in the 1800's in the American West. Very well written, with nonstop action from beginning to end. Highly recommended for MacLean fans.

Review: When I was a kid, I read every single one of MacLean's novels -- and this was the one I found hardest to put down! With a plot involving a Pinkerton agent on board a train in the American West, it is somewhat different from other MacLean novels -- but just as authentic and exciting! If you're a MacLean fan, it'd be well worth your time to track down an edition of this overlooked gem.
