Down with the System: This book surprised me. Hints of natural and psychological terror along with a misterious threat made this read interesting and thrilling. The beginning is a little bit dense, but the prose is fantastic.

The Trans-Siberian express has to cross vast uncharted and unfathomable lands, which humanity has long sought to understand. Three different POVs describe the journey in the majestic and powerful train and its crossing of the Wastelands.
