As they're hindered by the host of demonized machinery left in Clare's wake, they must fight increasingly desperate odds that drive both men to final, impossible choices.Avoiding her pursuers of bone and battery alike, Clare must penetrate even further into the industrial abyss in search of her mother.Who, or what lies at the bottom?This is the second book in Substation 7 - the oppressive fantasy thriller in which even the afterlife can be stolen from you.
