Description
A massive decrepit city is pulled along a railway track, laying the line down before it as it progresses into the wilderness. The society within toils under an oppressive regime, its structures always on the point of collapse, the lives of its individuals lived in misery. No one knows where they are going, why they are going or what they will find when they get there. This is a powerful novel about a society in decay, and the profound consequences that follow. The ending of this novel provides a shocking twist, leaving readers with much to think about long after finishing the book.
