After the Great Migration, most humans that were left on Earth withdrew into the Domes where they slept and dreamed with the help of the Rainbow. In a village near one of the Domes, Manuel lives as an artist, challenged by the stagnant life that has consumed the village over the centuries. Manuel joins together in partnership with an old man and a sleeping girl of a Dome to form the Triad. Guided by Starquin the Omniscient, they battle the forces that have controlled the Earth and held it in this state for too long.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A truly great book...,
By John P. Barker (Mount Dora, FL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: CELESTIAL STEAM LOCOMOTIVE (Song of Earth, Vol 1) (Hardcover)
To say that this is a great novel is an understatement. It is, however, easy to say that The Celestial Steam Locomotive is highly original, thought provoking, and very entertaining. It does exactly what a good science fiction novel should do. It's sequel, Gods of the Greataway, is equally entertaining. However, I found the third book in the series, Fang the Gnome, to be quite disappointing. But don't fret--only the first two novels are truly connected; Fang the Gnome is connected in a mythological sense--sort of like having a conversation about religion while eating at Denny's. Odd reference, but there ya go...

The Celestial Steam Locomotive,
This review is from: CELESTIAL STEAM LOCOMOTIVE (Song of Earth, Vol 1) (Hardcover)
This is truly one of the best books I have ever read. It was the first science fiction novel I have read, and I could'nt think of a better story to introduce someone into the sci-fi genre. This story is so complex, and the characters are so unique. By best advice is to say, "read it, and become one of the lucky few who have ridden the celestial steam locomotive".
