When I was 13 I discovered this book, and then discovered the joy of reading!!! - By: Mr. Andrew Crabtree, 02 Dec 2008 
It is safe to say that this & one other book (Shadow over Babylon, by David Mason) really introduced for me, the power of a good writer. A must read, superbly written, & all the more thrilling knowing that the story it tells, is at leastin part groundedin historical fact.
Excellent and Gripping - By: J. S. Leyland, 03 Jun 2008 My partner insisted I read this book as he said I would enjoy it. He was right, a really gripping book. Excellently written & scarily beleivable.
A good yarn, but.... - By: Personal opinion, 07 Jan 2008 
This is a well researched bookin the Freddie Forsyth style although it has too much unnecessary minute detail, which is sometimes repeatedin another chapter. The plot is clever & original but, despite quoting some real people, even moderate critical analysis should show it to be complete fiction. By no means everyone who knew the victims of the accidents described is happy with the way they have been portrayed.
Enjoy a good ripping yarn but use your common sense while reading it.
Very thought provoking - By: G. Hardman, 25 Oct 2007 A thriller of the highest class. Very beliveable I amin no doubt this is factorial written as fiction. It also poses the question if the 'Boston Brakes' principle is possible given todays technology, could this have been usedin Paris?
Very thought provoking - By: G. Hardman, 25 Oct 2007 A thriller of the highest class. Fact or fiction is hard to tell. Totally beliveable. I feel it is factorial written as fiction. Questions must be asked if the "Boston Brakes" theory could have been usedin Paris?
