London, 1855—where fortunes ride the rails, and one man dares to steal them.

With corrupt officials, intricate disguises, and meticulous planning, Pierce manipulates a web of accomplices to pull off the crime of the century. But as the day of reckoning nears, one wrong move could send it all crashing down.
Based on a true story, The Great Train Robbery is a gripping historical thriller from Michael Crichton that blends fact with breathless fiction. Will Pierce outsmart them all—or go down with the train?
