Railsea

Synopsis

<p>On board the Medes, Sham yes ap Saroop watches in awe as he witnesses his first moldywarpe hunt. The giant mole bursting from the earth, the harpoonists targeting their prey – and the inevitable battle that follows between human and creature that will result in one's death – the other's glory. Travelling the rails of the Railsea, Sham knows there is more to life than hunting moles – even if his philosophy-seeking captain can think of nothing else but the ivory-coloured mole she's been chasing since it took her arm all those years ago. When they come across a derelict train, and Sham discovers salvage aboard – everything changes for him.</p>
