The city moves along rails, traversing a devastated land filled with hostile tribes. The rails must be laid down in front of it as it progresses and carefully removed behind it. Rivers and mountains pose an almost insurmountable obstacle to the city's engineers. But if its movement stops, the city falls into the destructive gravitational field that has transformed life on Earth. The only alternative to progress is death. Helward Mann, a member of the city's elite, knows better than anyone that his existence hangs by a thread: he is about to discover that the outside world is infinitely stranger than his own environment, which he thinks he knows so well.
