Sobre este e-book

Por décadas, Clive Cussler vem deleitando leitores com romances repletos de suspense, ação e pura audácia. Agora, ele faz isso novamente, em um dos mais loucos e estimulantes thrillers de época dos últimos anos.
O governo norte-americano contrata a renomada Agência de Detetives Van Dorn e seu agente igualmente renomado, Isaac Bell, para capturar um lendário ladrão de bancos conhecido como Assaltante Açougueiro. Este assassinara homens, mulheres e crianças, sem deixar nenhuma pista nem testemunhas. O detetive Bell lidera a busca e finalmente descobre a verdadeira identidade do Assaltante Açougueiro. E nesse momento inicia-se a verdadeira caçada.
Com um enredo intrincado, dois vilões extraordinários e a assinatura de Cussler em reviravoltas surpreendentes, A Caçada é o trabalho de um mestre no auge de seu talento.

    The hero is one Isaac Bell, an independently wealthy private detective. The villain is a bank robber-murderer known as "the Butcher Bandit." Bell, through hot detective work and breathtaking good luck, gets on the trail of the Bandit by page 168 (of 404). The rest of the book -- the better half -- involves a lot of fast driving, a locomotive race, some shooting and robbing, and the San Francisco earthquake of 1906.

    I've always been a fan of Clive Cussler's Dirk Pitt and NUMA Files adventures as well as Steve Austin and his newer endeavours. I really wanted to like this book, after all it's by Clive Cussler but... The Chase had a good story line but the dialogue is awful. I'm not quoting the book here but imagine something along the lines of; Good guy: "I'll get you if it's the last thing I do, you scoundrel!" Bad guy: "You'll never catch me, detective!". Very generic and predictable. I also felt the prologue ruined the rest of the book because it gave away the ending.

    I didn't feel like there were any real surprises in this book. The perspective on the San Francisco earthquakes was the most interesting part.

    If you like a good action book then this one is for you! Almost from the beginning to the end, good versus evil, beautiful women, diabolical deeds, along with brilliant counteractions. It's a wild ride that will keep you wondering, enjoy!

    It is America in 1906 and the chase in question is the pursuit of the bank robber and killer,known as 'The Butcher Bandit'. Isaac Bell is the detective who is determined to identify and arrest this ruthless murderer and bring him to the gallows.There are three fantastic set-pieces in the book, The first being a race between a high-speed car and a train,the second is the San Francisco earthquake and the final one is a chase between two great locomotives.This is a stand-alone book and by far the best one that I have read by this author. Escapism at it's best.

    Clive Cussler does it yet again with the creation of this new character series. He brings to life a realistic hero that emanates the mentality of the turn of the century with Isaac Bell and a villain who is evil through and through.The Chase takes place in the early 1900's when the West Coast is rising out of the dust, to the thriving metropolis of San Francisco before, during, and after the great earthquake that does its best to wipe the city off the map and culminates in a 400 mile train chase. Isaac Bell, detective with the Van Dorn Detective Agency is hunting a brutal killer who enjoys robbing banks. Beautiful women and a love story round out this enjoyable adventure novel.

    Not the drama or adventure that as a reader of the early Dirk Pitt books I had expected. But this book is one of a historical mystery adventure series so I will wait to see. Loved the detail given to the first hours of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and to the technology thriving and driving forwaed the early 20thn century.

    Cussler has seemingly become reinvigorated, and has produced a great tale of action and adventure. Cussler certainly knows how to create an admirable hero, and does not fail us here. This tale of historical fiction is interesting and fast paced. It tells of the early histories of railroads, and San Francisco. If you enjoyed the early Dirk Pitt novels(because the latest Pitt novels have been such a bore with his children involved), then you will find this book a pleasurable read.
  • Nota: 5 de 5 estrelas
    5/5
    Don't look for Dirk Pitt in this book, although Cussler makes a cameo appearance. Like all Cussler books, it includes a salvage involving "treasure" and is very, very loosely based on history. Of course, there is a love interest : a beautiful, tough, brilliant woman with a handsome, fearless, kind, intelligent, wonderful man. It's exciting, fun, imaginative, and totally unrealistic. I loved it!

    Clive Cussler’s The Chase is a rousing yarn, filled with heroic, dashing heroes, and dastardly sneaky villains. The book opens in 1950. A locomotive is being lifted out of the murky cold depths of Flathead Lake in western Montana. Inside the locomotive are the remains of three men who died in it 44 years earlier. The real mystery is still in the bottom of the lake and as the divers attach cables to the remaining freight car to bring it up, the story opens in 1906.The Butcher Bandit is terrorizing banks throughout the west. An evil sociopath, the Bandit robs banks, taking only the easy to carry cash, and leaves no living witness behind. He kills indiscriminately; men, women and even children, so no one can identify him. The US government wants bring his reign of terror to an end, so they bring in the best man they can find for the job, Isaac Bell. Bell is the James Bond of the early 20th century. Handsome, debonair, clever and independently wealthy, he won’t rest until the Butcher is brought to justice.The mystery of the identity of the Butcher is solved quite early in the book. A cat and mouse game ensues in this very enjoyable tale. The book is often written in a way reminiscent of old time pulp novels; some passages are almost courtly with old-fashioned flowery language. The hero is beyond reproach in all ways, the love interest is a beautiful, graceful and intelligent woman, and the villain is simply a cold-hearted snake. The concluding chapters include a wonderful chase between two trains, which would translate so well to the big screen, I’m surprised a producer hasn’t snapped it up already. Sometimes I finish a book, and think, “This would be a great movie.” The Chase would be a great movie.

    Poorly written but quite exciting. The writing style was close to Eric Flint's 1632 (another book I enjoyed that wasn't terribly well-written). I might read another Cussler book.

    3/5
    It's a little bit of a departure from his regular Dirk Pitt/Juan Colorado books, though he still pays an amazing amount of attention to detail and describes the mechanical workings of cars and other things that go vroom and boom in painful detail.

    I had to pop down to my town library and check out the bound copy to verify that I caught a continuity burp. I did, it wasn't the (audio book) reader. I hadn't noticed any of the other reviewers mentioning it, so I won't either... except that it's there (and it in no way affects the plot).

    heh. How many readers will start wondering now?

    Many years ago I was a Dirk Pitt fan, but I've fallen away from Cussler a bit as he seems to have evolved into someone who runs a stable of writers, and they're just generally not as good as the old ones. (Plus, I have to admit I get a little tired of seeing Cussler's political leanings highlighted.)

    My son suggested The Chase to me, and I have to say that I think Cussler has a good one here with this author. (Again, I have no idea how much of this Cussler actually writes, so I just assume it's all the co-author.) Isaac Bell is a great character, and the storytelling is very good. For anyone who drifted away from Cussler for some of the reasons I did, give this new series a try - you might like it.

    Arresting opening chapter and great tie-in at the end. This was an entertaining, faced paced, exciting story blended with enough period data and events to make for a thrilling read. I enjoyed the characters Clive created, though the bad guy did come across a tad sterotypical with his beautiful, but evil sister.They only place where I disagreed with Clive's treatment of the characters was at the end when the protagonist, Isaac Bell, shows suddenly strong emotional desire to save the evil sister. To take a fun novel and toss in a speed bump at the very last was disconcerting. But other than that, I'd recommend this novel to anyone who enjoys a great action/adeventure story.

    In his first adventure, Isaac Bell is charged with providing security for a well known railroad system. After a string of bank robberies, he develops a suspect. He needs all his wit and courage to apprehend the villain and get the girl.

    The Chase is the first book in the Isaac Bell series and my wife borrowed it from the library for us to listen to on one of our trips. I enjoyed the book and the reader does an excellent job. Isaac Bell works for the famous Van Dorn Detective Agency (a hat tip to the Pinkerton's I believe) and he is known for being the best of the bunch. There has been a bank robber who's been very successful throughout the West and part of his success is because he leaves no witnesses. The fervor has increased to the point the federal government is asking the Van Dorn Agency to bring the case to a close and Bell is placed as the agent in charge. This is the smartest criminal Bell has had to find and it takes all his abilities and a little luck just to survive.Overall, a pretty good book. I enjoyed the story, plenty of action to keep your attention. Better written than someone like Dan Brown. Cussler had fun bringing to life all the nitty gritty details in driving cars and locomotive engines in 1906 and how much WORK it really was. Fairly predicable story line but still good.
  • Nota: 3 de 5 estrelas

    Another solid start for a new character series. This series has good potential for a wide range of storylines. I thought the characters were well developed and the hero/villian theme played true and concise until then end. If you like Cussler you'll enjoy this book.
  • Nota: 5 de 5 estrelas
    5/5
    Not being a fan of Cussler I was prepared for the worst, but ended up pleasantly suprised. The story is set in early 20th century USA. Our hero, the dashing detective Isaac Bell, is employed to catch the Butcher Bandit - a prolific and murderous bank robber. The story builds to an exciting climax set against the background of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. Cussler's attention to detail is fantastic and his description of thepeople and places really brings the story to life. Half a star has to be deducted for some pretty abysmal editing though. In places the structure of some of the sentences is dreadful, and Cussler would certainly benefit from a better quality thesaurus!

    I generally consider Clive Cussler's books as mindless entertainment, something to listen to while walking the dog or commuting. The Chase, though, was a big disappointment. It lacked any originality, plausibility or even a semblance of an interesting plot. If you want to read something by Cussler, stick with the early Dirk Pitt books and leave this one on the shelf.

    I read through a few Cussler books in the past. When I saw The Chase in the store and flipped through the jacket cover, I decided to give it another go. Overall words: OK. It was a nice story, set in an era I've read little of before. Cussler is great at detail and he really knows his stuff. But, some of the characters were flat, predictable, and "hokey". I felt like I was watching a Clarke Gable or Humphrey Bogart movie. And the "car chase scene". Ummm, okay. Don't think I'll be picking up any of the follow-ons.

    This book is about a chase, but it takes you on a ride and Whee! what fun! It leaves you wanting more Issac Bell. This book is about the joy of detail experienced in reliving a different era. It is about mystery with a dash of early James Bond romance thrown in. This book is masquerading as a guy thriller but women can find a lot to love in this book as well. I could not put it down!
