From AudioFile
Most authors should stick to writing and leave audio performances to the professionals. Pearson is an exception. True, he's not as accomplished as Dick Hill, who has narrated most of Pearson's thrillers, but he's darn good. Pearson's latest is about a federal agent's search for a man who derails trains because his family was killed in a railroad accident. As the hunt intensifies, the listener begins to believe that railroad management is more criminal than the suspect. Pearson's unusual gritty voice captures the most exciting moments--and there are many, especially at the conclusion as a prototype train is barreling along at 180 miles per hour. Since he's the author, Pearson has an edge on performers because he knows what's coming next, and he uses his knowledge to the listener's benefit.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. When Umberto Alvarez's family was wiped out in a terrible train accident, he lost everything that he held dear in this world. Consumed with hatred for the train company that caused the tragedy through their negligence, he tries to get recompense every legal way he can. But, in vain. He has no choice but give up all he has left by getting revenge personally. He leaves his life, rides the rails and starts a campaign off sabotage and destruction. Peter Tyler's life is also on the rocks. His career is on hold after a series of screw ups, and he has been reduced to working transport for the FBI. Now he sees Alavarez - the Railroad Killer - as HIS chance for redemption. And so begins a cat-and-mouse game across the North American continent. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR010637218
