You better believe it is! The Isaac Bell Journey series has to be the best series since Clive Cussler books branched out from the Dirk Pitt Stories. Set about 100 years previous, The Wrecker is an amazing journey story utilizing the best technologies of the time period...and it leaves the reader on the pins and needles and fully unable to put the book down!
Jumping in with the villian, Cussler spins an excellent story wth the components of fear, eradication, and terror across the railroad industry at the turn of the century. Tormented by accidents and laborer deaths, one railroad businessman faces certain ruin with the intervention of a madman fixed on the destruction of his railroad company. With the saboteur having eluded the guards of the railroad company, the entrepreneur is forced to call on outside, elite help.
Therefore, we see the entry of the Van Dorn Detective Agency with the premiere agent Isaac Bell in charge of this inquiry. A man of means and standing, Bell left his cushy life to be an investigator. Rough, bold, and definitely able to handle himself in a fight, the personality of Isaac Bell draws you in and will not let you go. Driven to stop the growing threat to the railroads, Bell starts out to stop the madman. This leads on to high speed chases with some of the quickest trains of the time period. Racing across the country, tracking a dangerous enemy, accidents going down at each turn...the complete makings for a great and exciting book to read this Saturday.
So you are curious as to what is so wonderful about this book? Well, the constraints of the turn of the century are fantastic. We take travel and communications for granted now. We can hop on an airplane in Washington DC and be eating lunch in LA by 12 p.m.. If you feel like calling to get in contact with anyone grab your cell phone and make a call. Well, in this series, the quickest method of travel is through the railroad, and the best and quickest way of communicating is with the telegraph. The creator of this book pulls off a miracle of designing suspense and intrigue while remaining true to the time frame of years long since passed.
Clive Cussler has dazzlingly succeeded in spinning a narrative to keep his readers wanting another book as quickly as achievable. I for one can't wait 'til the next Isaac Bell Storyline hits the bookstores.
