Book Review of Three Complete Novels: The Andromeda Strain, The Terminal Man, and The Great Train Robbery

NOTE: I only read The Great Train Robbery not all three books.

Well the history lesson in the introduction was boring as hell and come to find out this is a true story - I hate true stories! A very well thought out plan by Edward Pierce which he then carefully executed over a years time one step at a time. A very clever crime but a rather boring telling of the story. It didn't seem like Michael Crichton wrote this at all but then again it was written in 1974 before he got his groove on apparently.
