By Rich Dan Biermeier's book, "The Hobo Kingdom: A Chase of Blood on Steel," gives the reader quite a ride. It's an action thriller that just builds and builds. By page two you're introduced to the two main characters: Glen and Denny. Within a chapter or two more, one of the boys' lives is changed forever, and the other's soon follows. Due to tragedy, both are pulled from the normal life of twelve-year-old boys and thrust into a world of adventure, tragedy, betrayal, violence, friendship and loyalty. Riding the rails, they are soon adopted by two groups of Hobos. Taught the Hobo code of ethics and way of life the boys soon abandon their old lives and help in the relentless pursuit of two homicidal maniacs: Two Trains North, a six foot six monster of a man, likes to crush heads and snap necks, while York, a teenage boy, prefers to work up front and close— slitting throats and impaling hearts with his straight-razor and "shiv." Both are very good at what they do, and don't hesitate in their work—leaving dozens of dead bodies up and down the line. Horrified with the carnage and the senseless killing, the two boys, and their new found friends, run the rail from one end of the country to the next in search of the mass murderers. Unfortunately, the line between the pursuer and the pursued often becomes blurred. Who will be next? Maybe Denny and Glen will "get theirs" in the end. Who can tell? I certainly won't. So, if you're not the squeamish type and you like a non-stop heart pounder every now and then, try this one on for size. It just may fit. It did me and quite well thank you. Nice work Mr. Dan. Now, hurry up and no dawdling with the follow-up. You hear!I'd rather not have to call on Two Trains or York and have you sent—"westbound."
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. ‘I was too young to remember but mom says she threw him out, he was no account.’ By Grady Harp Author Dan Biermeier offers little information about his writing career – and that may indicates that this is his debut novel. What he does offer us Is a sample of how young at heart he is an dhow much he knows about the manner in which young lads function and think – and a lot about the old tradition of hobos who ride the trains as homeless precursors to the legions of homeless today.Dan’s book embraces the coming of age genre and as such it is very appropriate for young adults struggling through the identity crises – and joys – of walking that bridge between childhood and adulthood. The other aspect that makes this book such a pleasure to read is the use of the time frame when railroads played a major part of our country’s transportation of both people and goods. Dan’s manner of looking at the scenery suggests strongly that he is a Midwesterner, about as solid a picture of America in the ‘old days’ before Internet disrupted our interaction.The synopsis of the story is well written and will seduce the reader; ‘At the end of the 1968 St. Mary's school year, a new sixth grader, Denny, transfers in from the public school and challenges Glen immediately. Within days Glen and Denny's lives turn crazy. People are dying. Mothers are crying and then the boys are gone. Chance and tragedy cast the boys onto the railways of the Hobo Kingdom, a realm which grows more violent and macabre each day. Here killers, rapists and thieves prey on the transients and innocents who venture too close to the tracks. A band of hobos help one boy and a U.S. marine war vet the other. Can the railroad gangsters be stopped? Join a group of vigilante hobos who vow to halt the chaos and avenge the victims in this 'Chase of Blood on Steel'. Their goal to bring order back to the railways and safety to those along the tracks. But what about the boys?’Adventure, warm relationships, and the fine description of the hobos on the trains propel this adventure tail along the tracks with the speed of the old trains. For entertainment and memory cues, Try Dan’s new venture into writing. Grady Harp, January 16
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Original and Awesome. By asineth This book is not like anything I have ever read, it does not remind me of anything (I have lately found this to be a super rare trait). It is fast paced, the characters and their relationships (good and bad) are amazing well developed and very richly created. The story, at times a bit scattered, is interesting and unique -and makes you want to keep reading.The lingo took a little getting used to, but it felt natural and really added depth and authenticity to the characters and the world Dan Biermeier created. Mostly dialogue, the characters' banter is entertaining and keeps the momentum of the plot moving forward.I'm excited for more books in the series, but a little worried as that means none of the survivors from this book are necessarily safe. There was a lot of blood in this book, sometimes the plot veering shockingly off from where you thought it was going to go. But believably so, not just "twists for the sake of twists". Rarely have I found a book that was so original and so enjoyable.What I REALLY want is for some studio to pick this up as a new tv series, because it would be outstanding (if they could find actors good enough to master the specific dialogue).I received this book as part of the goodreads giveaways program.
