On the Train - Stellar Guild, Vol 3 Author:Harry Turtledove, Rachel Turtledove, Mike Resnick (Editor) The world of the Train is insular even as it circles the planet, offering only fleeting glimpses into the wonders beyond, whether the ravages of war or the effects more magical regions have on the Train's mechanism. Is travelling on The Train a means to an end...a way to complete one's journey...or is The Train the destination itse... more »lf, rolling endlessly through realms both magical and mechanical? And what of Javan, the lad from Pingaspor, whose third-class ticket entitles him to a spot on a hard bench? He has given up everything he had for that cherished spot. But where, exactly, is he headed? And what of nanny Eli, hired by Baroness Vasri to take care of her son and daughter as they travel on The Train in first class? But the Baroness' agenda may run contrary to that of those running The Train...and what will become of the children?
The Stellar Guild series #3. Each book in the series pairs an established (normally best-selling) author with a newer or less well known author of the veteran author’s choice. The series aims to help introduce lesser known authors to a wider audience by pairing them up with bestsellers who have an established fan base. It also provides newer writers another much needed venue to sell their short fiction.
