The Great Train Robbery by Michael Crichton
5.0
It's a historical recreation, it's a heist story, it's a tale full of competency porn. What's not to love? Oh, AND it's Michael Crichton, who really did know how to catch you in the web of his story.
The only thing that I found truly jarring was finding out that Pierce never actually practiced walking on the train to accurately time that. I suppose he figured it would be like walking on the ground. I don't know, for a man who left so little to chance, who planned all the other aspects so carefully, it strikes me so odd that he would just leave that assumption untested.
