Synopsis

Step Aboard - the Universe is Waiting.

The Great Network is a place of drones and androids, Hive Monks and Station Angels. The place of the thousand gates, where sentient trains criss-cross the galaxy in a heartbeat.

Zen is still a thief - but it could be that the key to the whole universe rests on finding out what else he is.
