Night Train
"David Quantick is one of the best kept secrets in the world of writing. He's smart, funny and unique. You should let yourself in on the secret."
- Neil Gaiman
From Emmy-Award winning author David Quantick, Night Train is a science-fiction horror story like no other. A woman wakes up, frightened and alone. The room shaking and jumping like it's alive. The noise is terrifying. Where is she? Stumbling through a door, she realizes she is on a train carriage. A carriage full of the dead. A personal hell unfolding in an apocalyptic future. This is NIGHT TRAIN. A terrifying ride set on a driverless locomotive, heading for a collision somewhere in the endless night. How did the woman get here? Who is she? And who are the dead? As our heroine makes her way through the train trying to find out what happened to her, she meets a former strongman, a trained killer, and a collection of strange and terrifying creatures. Each step takes her closer to finding out the secret of the Night Train.

this book suffers from an interesting idea carried out with poor execution. most of the novel, up until the very very end, reads like a rejected TV script. this makes sense when you consider the author writes for the silver screen. the dialogue was odd & the novel was paced very fast, almost too fast? lots of things were happening but none of it was particularly interesting, aside from the flashbacks. i found myself cringing at the dialogue & the writing very often. this book is really only redeemed by the last section when the "mystery" (which is poorly developed) is finally revealed.
