Humanity had spread out over a small part of the galaxy. Now several hundred colonies had been established on Earthlike planets around the Milky Way.

These majestic marvels of engineering were reminiscent of a previous, more gracious time in human history. The greatest of these incredible vehicles was the Galaxy Express. It was the queen among the Star Trains and had an interstellar reputation for comfort and safe passage. That was until the murder happened. A "locked-room" mystery showing the heights someone would go to commit the perfect crime.

Benchmarks: 8,060 active Royal Road stories, percentiles within the 10–19 chapters band, cohort of 2026-07-02. Conversion is measured as followers gained per 1,000 views lifetime.
