Publisher Description
A train ride into the Alaskan wilderness turns into a harrowing fight for survival for Deputy US Marshal Arliss Cutter and a mother and daughter marked for death …
Off the northeast coast of Russia, the captain and crew of a small crabbing vessel are brutally murdered by members of Bratva, the Russian mafia—their bodies stuffed into crab pots and thrown overboard. The killers scuttle the vessel off the coast of Alaska and slip ashore.
In Washington, DC, Supreme Court Justice Charlotte Morehouse prepares for a trip to Alaska, unaware that a killer is waiting to take his revenge—by livestreaming her death to the world.
In Anchorage, Alaska, Deputy US Marshals Arliss Cutter and Lola Teariki are assigned to security detail at a judicial conference in Fairbanks. Lola is tasked with guarding Justice Townsend’s teenaged daughter while Cutter provides counter-surveillance. It’s a simple, routine assignment—until the mother and daughter
decide to explore the Alaskan wilderness on the famous Glacier Discovery train. Hiding onboard are the Chechen terrorists, who launch a surprise attack. While they seize control of the engine, Cutter manages to escape with Justice Townsend by jumping off the moving train—and into the unforgiving wilderness.
With no supplies and no connection to the outside world, Cutter and the judge must cross a treacherous terrain to stay alive. Two of the terrorists are close behind. The others are on the train with the judge’s daughter—and they plan to execute her on camera. With so many lives at stake, Cutter knows there are
only two options left: catch the train and kill them all … or all will be killed.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
A train bound for the northernmost reaches of the U.S. turns into a careening death trap in this riveting thriller. U.S. Marshal Arliss Cutter is leading a security detail protecting a Supreme Court justice and her teenage daughter as they tour Alaska by train. But what should be a simple job goes off the rails—almost literally—when a vengeful Russian mob boss comes after the isolated judge with extreme force. Cameron fittingly keeps the action barreling forward, with the beautiful but dangerous Alaskan terrain creating a deadly backdrop for this showdown between lawmen and assassins. We loved how the humanity and rapport of the supporting characters, like that between Cutter and his young and dryly funny partner, Deputy Lola Teariki, make the unrelenting brutality of bad guy Maxim Volkov feel even scarier in comparison. Narrator David Chandler’s straightforward style kept us holding on tight to hear what would happen next. Whether or not you’re already a fan of Arliss Cutter, any action lover should climb aboard for this wild listen.
