"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" -- from publisher.
