'Be warned - once you step into The Cautious Traveller's Guide to the Wastelands, you'll never want to disembark' SAMANTHA SHANNON
'Wild and wonderful . . . completely captivating' JENNIFER SAINT
'Mysterious and clever and brilliant' NATASHA PULLEY
It is said there is a price that every passenger must pay. A price beyond the cost of a ticket.
It is the end of the 19th Century and the world is awash with marvels. But there is nothing so marvellous as the Wastelands: a terrain of terrible miracles that lies between Beijing and Moscow.
Nothing touches this abandoned wilderness except the Great Trans-Siberian Express, an impenetrable train built to carry cargo across continents but which now transports anyone who dares to cross the shadowy Wastelands.
On to the platform steps a curious cast of characters: a grieving woman with a borrowed name, a famous child born on the train and a disgraced naturalist, all heading for the Great Exhibition in Moscow.
But the old rules are changing, and there are whispers that the train isn't safe. As secrets begin to unravel, the passengers and crew must survive their journey through the Wastelands together - even as something uncontrollable seems to be breaking in . . .

“Our names will be remembered,” he had said to the engineer. Isn’t that what everyone wanted?
Are you brave enough to get aboard the Trans-Siberian-Express and face the dangers of the Wastelands? The risks are numerous, from getting injured by marvellous creatures to losing your sanity - but the rewards are promising...In Sarah Brooks's "The Cautious Traveller's Guide to the Wastelands" we get to experience this unique journey from the perspective of three very different personas, all of them hiding a secret that endagers the life of every passenger on the train. There is the orphan Weiwei, born and raised on the train. Marya, who travels under a false name and wants revenge for her father. And Henry Gray,a naturalist obsessed with regaining his recently lost reputation as a scientist. A beautifully written story about what it means to be stuck in norms and traditions as well as the human urge to discover the unknown.
