THE TRAIN PLAY (The Reckless Ruthless Brutal Charge of It)

By Liz Duffy Adams. Imagine you're on a train, on a pitch-black moonless night, hurtling at the speed of light toward destiny. Here it is that eight strangers meet: a twelve-year-old with the powers of a comic book heroine who manipulates time, a jaded Earth Goddess with a soft spot for very old scotch, an unraveling horny physicist fleeing a terrifying truth she's only glimpsed, an Irishman on the lam from predatory angels, a disenchanted travel writer who's just trying to pay his bills and three Russian brothers on a musical mission of peace. While they ride, the destruction of the universe looms as they speed along a comic-poetic collision course with time, history ... and a supernatural climax.
