The Iron Pass Express was supposed to be routine.

For Lucas Ward, a structural engineer heading home after a long contract, it's just another overnight train through the Cascadia mountains. But when strange mechanical anomalies begin to surface - and the crew vanishes without explanation - the journey turns into a nightmare.

As the train climbs into a worsening storm, Lucas realizes something far more dangerous than weather is at work. Critical systems have been sabotaged. The brakes won't respond. The locomotive is running itself.

Trapped onboard with a handful of passengers - a doctor, a retired conductor, a freight broker, and a student who knows the route better than anyone - Lucas must piece together what's happening while the train barrels toward a series of deadly descents and collapsing margins.

But this isn't just a malfunction. It's a plan.

Someone on board knows exactly what the train is doing - and why.

The Last Train to Iron Pass is a high-stakes thriller about systems under pressure, hidden agendas, and the thin line between control and catastrophe.
