Utah, 1869. Forging the next chapter in a country that doesn't seem to want them, Liam Gallagher leads a group of Irish settlers laying the Transcontinental Railroad. Behind them: Unforgiving winters of the Great Plains and the West, Indian raids, sickness, death. Ahead of them: The final push toward Promontory, where the western and eastern efforts of the railroad meet, and a contest of wills and of great financial reward looms. The promise of a whole new world of commerce and progress in the Great American experiment. But Liam's men haven't gotten paid. Their tyrannical railway boss knows they'll be done soon, shipped off to parts unknown, no money in their pocket to show for their work. So Liam and the boys decide to do something about it. But when you push tyrants, they don't back down. And bossman knows a little something about leverage. Knows just where to push to make it hurt. This taut and explosive historical suspense short story delivers a powerful vision of the shaping of America, and weaves a timeless tale of tragedy, courage, and the dignity of work. Can Liam and his cast of compelling characters overcome the elements and the injustices of corrupt men who keep their own counsel? Pick up Rail Music to find out!
