One Single Ticket by Robert Wallace

Review of New Novel about Box Tunnel
February 2019 This is a novel set in 1852 about a plot to subvert Brunel’s Great Western Railway scheme to travel from London to New York on a single ticket involving rail and sea travel. The novel is written by renowned author and screenwriter Robert Wallace, who told us I have always been fascinated by Brunel’s light at the end of the tunnel phenomenon. As a writer, I thought it would be great if that light source could be utilised to guide our two intrepid detectives (on horseback) through the Box Tunnel. Brunel’s nemesis has a fictional house at Box called Newton Meadows. Our two heroes have to gain access to discover the truth of the story. |

The plot is fictional but based on extensive research with a preface from Professor Angus Buchanan, Emeritus Professor of History of Technology at the University of Bath, who wrote the definitive modern biography of IK Brunel.
