Even the unwanted display of patriotic fervour at Aberdeen is not unusual. Everything seems normal, too, at Euston station, when the Prince of Wales, acting at the expressed command of his august mother, sets off in his special train, to join her in pious tribute to his father's memory. But two men, one in London and one in Balmoral, have the feeling that all is not well, a feeling inspired by the activities of the Marquis of Hastings, the cutting of the telegraph-wires along the Queen's route and the doping of a sergeant -footman on the Queen's train. ---The elaborate plot, which the author never allows to get out of hand; the absorbing game of chess which he plays with his special trains speeding to save the Queen; and the delightful touches of humour, usually at the expense of the great ones, make this a book which no reader, be he historically minded, train enthusiast, a 'who-dunnit' addict, or just an enjoyer of a good story, will be able to put down until the final act reaches its unexpected climax with a bizarre twist.'
