She will do anything to deliver this child to freedom ...

Joey Concepcion has ridden train rails almost her entire life, with many of those spent as a courier. After the invading Imperium murdered her husband and took her son, she vowed that she would stop at nothing to get her child back.

But ten years is a long time to wait. Just as her hope has dimmed and she’s all but given up, a mysterious little boy, Felix, stows away in her locomotive. Even curiouser is the fact that Felix is the spitting image of Joey’s missing son.

Joey vows to keep Felix safe, and the two embark on a journey to Frontera, the only safe place for Purgatorianos fleeing their colonisers. The journey is more perilous than they’d bargained for, and Joey soon finds herself navigating rising tensions with occupying nations, the Northern Imperium’s Laboratories and Unified Church, and even her own friends and family.

Will Joey succeed in delivering Felix to Frontera? Can she reconcile her past? Or will they fall victim to all those hot on their trail, desperate to stop Felix and his secret from making it to freedom?

A genderbent The Mandalorian, Last Train to Frontera is a steampunk, western sci-fi filled with themes relevant to today’s world.
