The Crypt Trilogy #3
Ghost Train: The Lost Gold of the Nazis
HAS A NAZI GOLD TRAIN BEEN HIDDEN IN A MOUNTAIN TUNNEL
SINCE WORLD WAR II?
Paul Silver, an international businessman and amateur adventurer, arrives in Berlin looking for information about a fabled Nazi train full of priceless objects and gold. Along with answers he finds a deranged man who hated him in the past, a man who wants revenge more than life itself.
There have been rumors for decades about a train filled with so much wealth it could fund Hitler’s dream of a Fourth Reich. A Romanian family believes its patriarch, one of Hitler’s trusted officers, possesses a coded diary – a book that will lead to vast treasure hidden somewhere in Europe at the end of the war.
Paul soon learns nothing is as it should be. A hundred-year-old murderer, a gypsy fortune-teller, a trio of greedy relatives and a search for the mysterious Nazi train lead Paul Silver on the most exciting adventure of his life.

Another legend brought to life
Once again, the reader is taken on another great adventure with another legend, the Nazi Ghost Train. I love how this is yet another great twist to another legend. The adventure and history makes for another great read. Pull up a chair and enjoy the ride.

Well researched,lively read.
Mr. Thompson deftly weaves the historical into an interesting tapestry of fictional mayhem. I salute his imaginative storytelling. As with many of his other novels I simply could not put this one down. How about the next adventurous read being about the Amber Room

Outstanding
All of this author’s novels are amazingly great. I haven’t stopped reading since I started his books. I start and read all day until I reach the end. Doesn’t matter how late I stay up. They are that good.
