Rail

by Tom Liberman

No interstate highways. Few airlines. High-speed rail is the dominate form of transportation. The great Robber Barons still rule and Ellie Courtland is the daughter of the owner of the Great North and West. She has little interest in the family business until she stumbles on her older brother conspiring with rivals.

With her best friend, Prudence Roosevelt, Ellie begins an investigation that leads her across the country. Can she stop her brother and save the company from both their rivals and regulating politicians?

An alternate history novel written entirely by a human.

About the author

I'm a regular guy from St. Louis, Missouri, USA.

I consider myself an Objectivist of the Ayn Rand school and that idealogy pervades my novels although they are set in a Sword and Sorcery realm.

I also am a moderate Libertarian in that I do think government needs to a play a role in society but that it should be limited in nature.

I like spending time writing, being with friends and family, and generally am a quiet, laid back person.

I wrote it so my five-star review might be biased but at least I didn't pay for the review ;)

Give it a try, you might like it and help an indie author.
