Sequel to Railhead. Stands
alone of the reader familiarizes them self with the glossary. More becomes
clear as the reading progresses. Zen
Starling and his android girlfriend Nova have created a new gate. They have no idea what they will find in the
undiscovered world. Meanwhile Threnody
Noon has been named Empress and Chandni Hansa has been unfrozen from prison to
serve her. These characters all interact
as new worlds are discovered and Zen hears of the Black Light Zone where he may
find answers about how to return to Earth.
In this universe connected by trains with brains traveling through gates that lead from planet, asteroid, or moon to each other, there are many things to discover. This section of the universe has not seen humans before. Thrilling battles, exciting escapes, political intrigue and a sense of adventure flow through the whole story. Possibly the secrets of the Railmaker may be found in the Black Light Zone. With no other route of escape, Zen, Nova and Threnody enter the Zone with trepidation. They find some answers, more questions and a way forward.
The novel ends with Nova going back into the Zone, Chandni rejoining the travelers and the three moving on. A sequel is expected. Theal(1), Joan
