"Coursing through an eternal winter, on an icy track wrapped around the frozen planet Earth, there travels a train that never stops. This is Snowpiercer: one thousand and one carriages long. The last bastion of human civilization. Or is it? Amidst the icy wastelands that blanket all human civilization, hope glimmers like the snow. A faint radio signal hints of sanctuary beneath the freezing surface. But the safety the people of the Snowpiercer discover is anything but, and their benign Shangri-la soon has them desperate to return to the sanctuary of their god-like train!"--Page 4 of cover. |
| Summary |
On a future, frozen Earth, humanity has been packed onto self-sustaining trains, doomed to circumnavigate the globe until the end of the interminable ice age - or until the engines give out. When a scrap of music piques their interest, the inhabitants of the Icebreaker take the ultimate risk and cross the frozen ocean, a vast expanse with no train tracks ... and no way to return to them. |
