The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 by John Godey

The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 by John Godey

THIS AFTERNON IN NEW YORK CITY, AFTER A SUBWAY TRAIN LEFT THE PELHAM STATION AT 1:23 P.M., THE EVENTS OF THE DAY TOK A TERIFYING DETOUR.

You will all remain seated. Anyone who tries to get up, or even moves, will be shot. There will be no further warning. If you move you will be killed.

Four men, armed with submachine guns, have seized a New York City subway train, holding all seventeen passengers--and the entire city--hostage. The identities of the hijackers are unknown. Their demands seem impossible. Their threats are real. Their escape seems inconceivable.

Only one thing is certain: they aren't stopping for anything.

Morton Freedgood's pen name is John Godey, and his writings include A Thrill a Minute With Jack Albany, Never Put Off Until Tomorrow What You Can Kill Today, and The Three Worlds of Johnny Handsome. In 1973, his novel The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 about the hijacking of a New York City subway train became a bestseller, and in 1974, it was adapted into a popular film starring Walter Matthau and Robert Shaw. In the summer of 2009, a remake featuring Denzel Washington and John Travolta will be released.
