Chance, wanderlust, and a mysterious woman propel our hero through a high-speed life of love and adventure. Franklin Flyer, named after the train he was born on, speeds along many tracks — explorer, artist, publisher, inventor — in his quest for purpose and self. Author Nicholas Christopher, a poet-turned-novelist, delivers another lyrical (almost mystical) novel of hopeful characters careening through the cosmos, converging in bursts of light and meaning.
