Midnight Trains — Kristine Kathryn Rusch

An American in Paris, Alex faces Christmas alone -- alone and lonely. Hopelessly lonely. He wanders the streets and train stations searching -- for something, for someone, for hope.

Until Christmas Eve, when he meets a strange woman in an abandoned Metro station. A woman seemingly out of time. She both unnerves him and compels him. And if he decides to trust her, they might just succeed in freeing each other once and for all.

“Rusch is a great storyteller.”
