Item description from seller

Paperback. Alfred Munro, a lifelong British Rail engineer handed down his miniature railway engine, first acquired from Yuri Ivanov a co-worker, to his grandson Matthew. Over time Matthew was to learn that the engine had possibly originated from a dying planet, whose inhabitants sent out numerous probes, seeking a new home. The engine found planet Earth, landing in the Ural Mountains, it was possessed first by Czar Alexander, then Yuri's father and finally Yuri who smuggled it out of Russia. As a youngster Matthew regularly visited his grandfather to be read extracts from albums the old man had produced over his career with the railway. For years Matthew was forbidden from seeing the railway, until finally with his close friend Benesha, the old man takes first Matt and then Ben into the front room and reveals the full magic of the railway. As young adults Matt and Ben explore the full powers and reveal the extraordinary mysteries, of the engine. The engine transports the pair through a portal on a trans-dimensional journey. They arrive on a distant planet where a highly developed and ancient civilization bestows upon the two friends, a range of awesome and unique powers. On Earth they become an extraordinary crime fighting duo, initially working behind the scenes, remaining unseen and unheard of. They rescue a blind man, Loris who, ultimately joins the team. Their enhanced powers are not only physical and they apply their new found mental abilities to excel in other areas. Ben becomes an international Chess Grand Master and Matt joins the UK Space Agency, after writing some unique papers covering inter planetary space travel. They make a return trans-dimensional trip, this time with Loris, where they not only discover more and greater powers but reveal the possibility of bringing a life changing event to Loris. With increased resources and a third member on board they are able to take on greater challenges, finally confronting a plot of world shattering dimensions. Author biography: Having told his son and daughter the story of 'Matthew And The Front Room Railway' when they were young, Stephen now in his early seventies, found himself retelling the story to his granddaughter. With the introduction of lockdown measures in the UK, he took the opportunity to put pen to paper and produce his first fantasy novel. This item is printed on demand.
