It's March of 1883, and the inhabitants of the east African colony of Kenya are preparing for the Long Rain. The crew of the Kestrel, a small cargo blimp, are no exception, trying to squeeze in the last few paying runs before two months of high winds and constant rain sweep the airships from the sky. Arriving in their midst is an old acquaintance, an Australian woman of uncertain background who brings an unbelievable story, and asks them to aid her in what seems to be an impossible task. She offers to pay them well, but can the money she offers be nearly enough to compensate for the danger she plans to place them in? And what business could the mysterious team of international bounty hunters be engaged upon? Join the crew of the Kestrel for their longest journey yet, a thrill-packed, suspenseful ride through a world of shadowy operators that could prove to be their last.

The son of a navy diver and a professional gambler, Jack Tyler joined the service to dodge the draft, sailed a wooden ship in a navy made of steel, and cruised the Orient on the deck of a tanker, all before his twenty-first birthday. Now an experienced steampunk author with a trilogy under his belt, he is prepared to move on to grander, more exciting stories. Unlike most contemporary steampunk, Beyond the Rails is much more about the people inhabiting his world of 1880s Africa, rather than the technology itself. "Never fight a battle that you don't have to win," a guiding principle of Jack's life, was provided by a Klingon admiral, thus proving his belief that wisdom can be found anywhere you look for it, perhaps even in his stories!
