Rick Kingsleys younger half-brother Aidan ran away three years ago. During those years, ghost trains – old long-gone streamliners – began reappearing, sometimes even rescuing people in danger. A being called the Wizard started entering peoples dreams, but offering real-world psychic powers. Rick has inherited, from a mysterious recluse hes never met, a vast fortune and an estate, Haw Court. And the world seems speeding ever closer to apocalypse, with global-warming fires, floods and tornadoes increasing both in numbers and size; along with human evils: religious freedom and Stand Your Ground laws, rampant bigotry online and in person, right-wing sabotages against society, topped by Trumps Presidential bid. Now, on the eve of the election, Aidans coming home. His return may bring Rick to a possible confrontation with the Wizard himself – with the lives of Ricks family and friends, and his own, at stake.
