Summary |
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. But where did it begin? In a world of over-population, climate change, famine, and other mass crises, bands of eco-terrorists strike a nerve against national governments. But for the Apocalypsters, terrorism is not enough, and Mother Nature needs a hand in the extinction of the human race. Only an eccentric billionaire survivalist and his perpetually moving train hold the key to humanity's future. |
