Quadrail

Space trains.

Those two words compelled me to pick up a secondhand copy of Night Train to Rigel by Timothy Zahn. At the time I’d just moved to Sydney with my wife — we were house hunting, I was searching for a co-working space and adjusting to a new life in a new city. I suppose, to help me deal with all the stress, I was looking for a fun read… 300 pages of entertaining escapism.

Enter the first entry in Mr Zahn’s Quadrail series.
