On board the moletrain Medes , Sham Yes ap Soorap watches in awe as he witnesses his first moldywarpe the giant mole bursting from the earth, the harpoonists targeting their prey, the battle resulting in one���s death and the other���s glory. But no matter how spectacular it is, Sham can't shake the sense that there is more to life than traveling the endless rails of the railsea���even if his captain can think only of the hunt for the ivory-coloured mole she���s been chasing since it took her arm all those years ago. When they come across a wrecked train, at first it's a welcome distraction. But what Sham finds in the derelict���a series of pictures hinting at something, somewhere, that should be impossible���leads to considerably mos hunted on all sides, by pirates, trainsfolk, monsters and salvage-scrabblers. And it might not be just Sham's life that's about to change. It could be the whole of the railsea.
