However much train nerdery you think is in this book, you are wrong. I think this thing would be a hundred pages shorter if you removed even half of the technical jargon. 😂

But the book is based on a train line my family has been taking for decades, and written by a conductor we’ve all met, so my whole family has been reading it. Overall it’s not too bad. A compelling concept that’s right up my alley for sure (a passenger train gets stuck in the Moffat Tunnel in Colorado during a massive eruption of Yellowstone, forcing them to work together to survive the journey out of the dead zone), but the writing is a little…rough. Lots of head-hopping, some author intrusion, a lack of stakes or danger where there should have been plenty.
