About this listen

USA Today bestselling author Sarah Gailey returns to the world of Upright Women Wanted with an explosive new story where a band of thieves must pull off a dangerous train heist in the name of resistance.

Set in the same universe as the Hugo Award finalist Upright Women Wanted, Gailey's latest novella follows a ragtag crew of horse thieves as they attempt an ambitious and dangerous train heist. Along the way, gunslinger Fletch and her team must decide if they want to be part of the greater resistance working covertly against the regime, or if this is just one big payday.

The Anarchist Cookbook meets Unforgiven in a story that is unapologetically about the means and methods one should use to interfere with the logistics and supply lines of those in power.
