About this listen
Seven train robbers. One haunted locomotive. All aboard for terror.
In the spring of 1903, locomotive 311, known as the Majestic, carried more than one hundred passengers toward a tunnel through the underbelly of the Canadian Rockies. But then the mouth of the tunnel swallowed the 311 whole, and the train—and everyone on it—was never seen again. Seven years later, a gang of cattle thieves and cutthroats wait on horseback for a train car full of railway cash—a payroll they intend to steal. What they will discover, however, is that the approaching train isn’t the 5409. It’s the missing 311, a train only whispered about around dying campfires. A train that some believe still rides the iron rails, traveling to places no mortal should ever go, seeing things no one should ever see.
Acclaimed horror writer Keith C. Blackmore etches an unsettling new entry in the annals of the American West. And like the haunted train itself, this one never stops.

An enjoyable one off.

It had the feeling of a book that would transition to film or series very easily and I'm sure would be a big hit.
A good paced story that thunders on like the 311!

It was a fairly interesting listen but I think if it wasn't for Bray's voice I wouldn't have finished it.
Narrated very well, story was a bit odd.

Firstly, Bray is awesome as always so no complaints there. My main gripe is that the synopsis made this sound like a classic Western ghost story when in reality it's like a jumbled sci fi mess that never really gets going.
The first part of the book when they're waiting to board the train is exactly what I was hoping for. Cool characters bitching and moaning at each other and going over the plan to rob the train.
Then they board the train and it all falls apart. I'm going to give a few examples because I'd have liked something like this in the synopsis, so stop reading now if you want to go in blind.
The different carriages they go through include: The belly of a giant sea creature, The scorching beach of a planet with 6ft man eating crabs. An alien bar with sexy multi breasted alien women.
There are also scenes from the perspective of a chrome alien called Vog Hertz Vog which are really random.
If the above sounds intriguing then maybe this is the book for you. For me I felt the synopsis was misleading and I wouldn't have bought it if I'd known what it was really about
The synopsis is misleading

I love this duo of author and narrator, usually.
But this book did nothing for me whatsoever; think i managed a few chapters and i hated it.
And yet Moutain Man series i have read about five times as its brilliant.
I just couldn't ...

The story starts really well but then goes into a rapid decline of complete nonsense
What a load of rubbish
