In a world of drones and androids Zen Starling is a human thief, but mostly he just likes to ride the Interstellar Express, the sentient trains that travel through the K gates from planet to planet, something only the Guardians understand--but now the mysterious Raven wants him to steal the Pyxis, an object that could either open up a new gate, challenging the Guardians, or put the entire gate system, and the universe itself in danger.

Come one! Come all! feast thine eyes upon yet another brilliant science fiction book by the esteemed Philip Reeve. Make sure to have your tickets in hand, and your luggage at your side, for this book is a rattling and rolling ride from one K-gate to the next! This book is perfect for those who enjoy the following:
- Trains
- Heists
- Space
- Interesting planets
- Planets that are interesting, but also slightly dangerous
- Trains in space
- Heists on trains
- Talking trains in space
- So much more!
If you looked at this list of things and thought you like even one of those things, I highly recommend you read this book. Get yourself down to the station, and catch the next train to Cleave right away!
Guardians be with you.
