Synopsis

This Train races us through America's heartland, carrying secrets. There is treasure in the cargo car, along with an invisible puppeteer. There is a coder named Nora, a yippy dog named Mugzy, and Ross, a too-curious poet. On board, it's a countdown to murder… On this train, there is a silver madman, a targeted banker, and crises of conscience. This train harbors the ""perfect"" couple's conspiracies, the chaos of being a teenager, and parenthood alongside the wows of being nine. There is a widow and a wannabe and the sleaziest billionaire. On this train, there is a suicide ticket, a bomb, sex, love, and loneliness, a heist, revenge, and redemption. This Train is a ticking clock, roaring through forty-seven fictional hours of nonstop suspense and action, through the challenges of now: racism, sexism, global warming, what it means to be alive. This train carries all of us. All aboard!

Goodreads review by Eydie on May 23, 2022

I've never been so glad I read a book at the same time as being equally glad I'm finished with it. I think this book will go over the heads of a lot of people. A lot of people just aren't going to really get it. I loved it, but it was exhausting.......more

Goodreads review by Linda on December 09, 2022

The train is about to depart. I confess that when I first started reading This Train I felt slightly shell shocked. James Grady opens with a sparse style reminiscent of watching a flickering film noir, with a hint of menace that took me a few pages to attune myself to. It’s almost as if, alongside th......more

Goodreads review by Vicki (chaptersofvicki) on December 04, 2022

I was really looking forward to reading this book after reading the description. However, I found it hard to follow at times and I just didn’t enjoy it as much as I’d hoped I would. There were quite a lot of characters and it was hard to keep track of who was who. This was written in an unusual writi......more

Goodreads review by Pat on July 02, 2022

I'm sure this would be a great movie but a good read, it ain't. I couldn't wait to start it and couldn't wait to finish it. There were so many places where the action was hard to understand and follow. Might would a good train read.......more
