A train sets out from Thessaloniki along a fragile viaduct across the ocean, bound for no clear destination and crowded with people fleeing a collapsing Europe. Among them is Rado, a former reporter who becomes the old continent's living memory: through his recollections and the brief interviews he records with fellow passengers, a catalogue of disasters takes shape, from the day all European planes were grounded for good to rising seas, armies massing at the borders and a spreading cult of a reborn Hitler. Far off in time and space, Sha, bred and raised to captain a colony ship as its only living passenger, finds a man's body on board. Turning to the logs of another captain whose ship vanished without trace, she sets out to solve the mystery, until the two stories begin to cross.
