    • The Great Train Robbery
    • In this novel Crichton has moved away from his usual genre and has fictionalized The Great Gold Robbery of 1855. The author does an excellent job portraying the cunning mind of William (Edward) Pierce as he meticulously pieces together what he needs to achieve a seemingly impossible feat.

Book Description

Lavish wealth and appalling poverty live side by side in Victorian London -- and Edward Pierce easily navigates both worlds. Rich, handsome, and ingenious, he charms the city's most prominent citizens even as he plots the crime of his century -- the daring theft of a fortune in gold.

But even Pierce could not predict the consequences of an extraordinary robbery that targets the pride of England's industrial era: the mighty steam locomotive. Based on remarkable fact, and alive with the gripping suspense, surprise, and authenticity that are his trademark, Michael Crichton's classic adventure is a breathtaking thrill-ride that races along tracks of steel at breakneck speed.
