The Great Network is an ancient web of routes and gates, where sentient
trains can take you anywhere in the galaxy in the blink of an eye. Zen
Starling is a nobody. A petty thief from the filthy streets of Thunder
City who aimlessly rides the rails of the Network. So when the
mysterious stranger Raven offers Zen a chance to escape the squalor of
the city and live the rest of his days in luxury, Zen can't believe his
luck. All he has to do is steal one small box from the Emperor's train
with the help of Nova, an android girl. But the Great Network is a
hazardous mess of twists and turns, and that little box just might bring
everything in this galaxy and the next to the end of the line. The
highly anticipated novel from Carnegie-medal-winning author Philip
Reeve, Railhead is a fast, immersive, and heart-pounding ride perfect
for any sci-fi fan. Step aboard -- the universe is waiting.
