---------------------------THE FIRST GREATTRAINROBBERY (DVD)---------------------------
The First GreatTrainRobbery is a story by the late Michael Crichton who wrote it first as a novel and then adapted and directed it for the big screen, loosely based on real history.
-- PLOT
Edgar Pierce (Connery) is a gentleman and a thief, he can move with nonchalance between the high society and the slums of London, perfectly knowing how to deal with people of both. After hearing at a high class party about a £12,000 load in gold coin and ingots being moved on the London and Folkestone passenger train, Edgar Pierce cannot stop thinking about the gold!

Advantages: An extremely precise robbery planning with in-depths of the victorian society Disadvantages: maybe a little too short and slightly different from real facts
When I first saw this novel for sale on a stand of used books I already knew Michael Crichton a bit. I loved his two most famous novels Jurassic Park and The Lost World and also his film Westworld.

The title of the novel imediately rang a bell but I wasn't too sure. I recalled a film with Sean Connery about a trainrobbery and just happens that I was right, there is also a film adaptation which is quite entertaining too.
-------------------Anyway, what is this book about?
It is the story of the Great Gold Robbery of 1855, a massive gold heist, first in history to take place on a moving train (when trains were still a novelty), planned by a gentleman-thief named Pierce and his accomplices.
The robbery was over a year in the planning ...
