The Emperor's Railroad

A young boy and his mother meet an enigmatic knight in their journey through the ruins of American in this dark post-apocalyptic fantasy novella.

“Haley serves up equal helpings of horror, fantasy adventure, and SF in this stark, intriguing story of a ruined Earth where the remaining humans are determined to survive.” —Publishers Weekly

Global war devastated the environment, a zombie-like plague wiped out much of humanity, and civilization as we once understood it came to a standstill. But that was a thousand years ago, and the world is now a very different place.

Conflict between city-states is constant; superstition is rife; and machine relics, mutant creatures, and resurrected prehistoric beasts trouble the land. Watching over all are the silent Dreaming Cities: homes of the angels, bastion outposts of heaven on Earth. Or so the church claims. Very few go in, and nobody ever comes out.

Until now . . .

“Entertaining and exciting . . . If grim-dark is your thing, then this is a great read for you.” —Bull-Spec
