The Boundless by Kenneth Oppel

3.0

It takes a while to figure out when this is set and where. The genre is a bit hard to define as well, since there are elements of fantasy, historical fiction, adventure, and mystery. Oppel imagines an amazing train, miles long, with a complete city on-board. Four classes, plus a circus, are separately housed in very different situations. Our protagonist witnesses a murder and then has to hide on this train from a determined murderer and his associates. Excitement builds to a satisfying conclusion. The "good" characters are much better developed than the bad, and it's interesting that a Sasquatch emerges as a character.
