(2016)(The fourth book in the Reluctant Adventures of Fletcher Connolly On the Interstellar Railroad series)
A novel by Felix R Savage
Fletcher Connolly just can't win for losing.
After his heist of the Gizmo of Rejuvenation went sideways, Fletch realizes just how much the pursuit of his dreams of wealth has cost him. Together with his partners in crime and one old enemy, Fletch finds himself abducted aboard the mysterious Ghost Train, bound for the unknown distant reaches of the Interstellar Railroad. Only one thing is certain: no one abducted by the Ghost Train has ever returned. So naturally Fletch and his companions jump at the chance to get off at the next stop.
But when a seemingly kindly planet shows its true savage nature, Fletch and the others resolve that perhaps there is something more to the idea of continuing to enjoy the Ghost Train's hospitality. Speeding toward the core of the galaxy with nowhere to run, Fletcher Connolly faces the understanding that no amount of his usual tactics will help him this time.
He has no choice but to put his Irish cunning to the test. For the first time in his life, he must face appalling peril for the sake of humanity alone, profit be damned.
Can he find a way to outsmart the greatest minds of the galaxy and win back their freedom? Or will Fletcher Connolly never see home again?
This is the final volume of The Reluctant Adventures of Fletcher Connolly on the Interstellar Railroad. Stay tuned for the follow-on series ... the Interstellar Circus!
