Synopsis

The author presents the reader with an usual but convincing scenario set in the very near future, against a background of ultra high speed trains. The characters and the technical detail are so real and believable that the story reads like science fact rather than science fiction. Half a century from now, things won't be all that different. Technology will march onwards but the underlying problems of today will still be with us, particularly the diminishing supply of oil and global warming. His characters are ordinary people living ordinary lives, who have to survive and overcome the problems and dangers of constructing and operating the world wide rail system, surving accidents, hi-jacking, robbery and smuggling.
