Book description
The train doesn't just move. It breathes. And the Wastelands outside? They're hungry.
Sarah Brooks doesn't write a novel-she unleashes a symphony of dread and wonder on the audio waves. Forget reading; this is hearing the Trans-Siberian Express shudder through a landscape where every shadow holds a creature, every whisper a warning. Samantha Shannon called it "breathtaking," and she's right. But the real magic is in the sound of it: the clatter of wheels on tracks that might be the last you hear, the rustle of a borrowed name in the velvet seats, the thump of a heart against a ribcage as Elena's secret unfolds.
Zhang Weiwei knows the train's bones. She's lived it. But now? A grieving woman with a name that isn't hers. A naturalist whose reputation is ash. And Elena-a stowaway whose eyes hold the Wastelands' own pulse. Their friendship? A spark in a tinderbox. Don't trust her, Weiwei's instincts scream. But the way Elena's fingers brush a shared secret? The way the train itself seems to lean toward her? You feel that pull too. It's not just a bond-it's a lifeline strung over a chasm.
And the price. Every ticket has a price. Not coins. Not time. Something else. Something the train's last journey erased from memory. Now, as the Wastelands shift-creatures more terrifying than marvels, the very air thickening with change-the passengers aren't just on a train. They're trapped inside a living, breathing question: Can we trust each other before the wildness consumes us all?
The audiobook is the Wastelands. You hear the creak of the carriage as if you're sitting beside Marya Petrovna, her grief carved into her bones. You feel the tension when Henry Grey's hand hovers over his ruined notes. And Elena? Her voice isn't just spoken-it's a current, pulling you deeper into the mystery, into the danger. The climax? It's not a shout. It's a whisper in the dark, a single word that cracks the world open. You don't just hear it. You tremble.
This isn't just a book for fans of Piranesi or The Midnight Library. It's for anyone who's ever felt the ground shift beneath them, who's known the terror of a secret that could save you-or destroy you. Brooks doesn't just tell a story. She makes you feel the Wastelands breathing down your neck, the train speeding toward a truth you're not ready for. The ending? It's not a resolution. It's a heartbeat. And you'll be left gripping your headphones, waiting for the next click of the tracks... wondering what price you'd pay to see the wonders beyond the glass.
The Wastelands aren't just outside. They're in the carriage with us. And the train? It's never been more dangerous. Or more alive.
