"This has become my favorite Clive Cussler book. Isaac Bell is a character that rivals the top characters in fiction today, his nemesis Cromwell is both evil and totally entertaining, a perfect match for Bell. Through non-stop action and a serious look into Bell's own creation, this is a total package of adventure, excitement and plain old good reading. The train theme is wonderful, bringing flashbacks to mind of the Wild, Wild West train from the TV show of the same name, while the setting of San Francisco is refreshing as you go from hill to hill and Cromwell's mansion and bank to an earthquake that changes everything. This is a must read for any Clive Cussler fan."

" Fantastic Book. The narrator, Scott Brick, is the BEST! "
— Teresa, 3/15/2020" Picked it up at the library on a whim. I was so surprised how much it really enjoyed it. I have read Dirk Pitt but never anything. I will no longer hesitate, all of Cussler's novels are fabulous!!!! "
— Chalise, 2/13/2014" Classical Clive Cussler. A clever person is a powerful one. No matter what you do, it never tastes as the thing u long most doing. "
— Arman, 1/29/2014" The series is a excellent read. If you looking for well rounded characters and a good plot line look no further. "
— Ed, 1/22/2014" Superb. The grandmaster of adventure. "
— Bhanuraj, 1/9/2014" The start of a great series "
— Dave, 12/23/2013" See, I knew there was a reason I should never, ever, have picked up a Clive Cussler book. I couldn't put the %$#@! thing down, and now I'll have to read the avalanche of novels the man has written. Sigh. They aren't high literature, and I know all the hooks he's using to suck you in- stunningly attractive main characters, good guy always right, alomst dies (at least twice) but manages to pull through albiet with a few major injuries, a romance or two, some self sacrifice, and a really, really despicable villian. Now, I've only read one of this guys books, but be honest with me, they are all like this aren't they? And yet I feel compelled to read more... "
— Stephanie, 11/24/2013" Very enjoyable in true Cussler fashion, even though it was not the usual characters or setting. "
— Shelly, 10/12/2013" I'm a sucker for historical fiction and this one is (to my mild surprise) quite well done. "
— Steve, 10/6/2013" Very interesting mystery and adventure. I was surprised by the story as Clive's tales are usually more convoluted but I did enjoy the race to the end. "
— D, 10/3/2013" Another great on by Clive. He continues to keep his books unpredictable and fun to read. The turns and twists make you not want to put the book down even to sleep. "
