About this title

From Library Journal:

Set sometime in the immediate future, this novel depicts an America whose airlines are paralyzed by terrorism and oil scarcities. Hence the urgency to complete the underground bullet train linking New York and Chicago. Dane Nordlund, only on the job as chief engineer for several weeks, must contend with myriad problems as the Chicago crew prepares to complete the final hole-through for the tunnel under icy Lake Michigan. Nordland must deal with an FBI investigator and pressure from Congress to proceed on schedule at the expense of safety. What he doesn't know is that a crazed worker is bent on sabotaging the project. This disaster novel has all the right ingredients including a fast-paced narrative, good characterizations, and a suspenseful plot. A thoroughly entertaining page-turner recommended for public libraries. Maria A. Perez-Stable, Western Michigan Univ. Libs., Kalamazoo
