Abstract

The Night the Storm Halted the Trains, Fate Was Set in Motion—

A woman waits in a stormy park for “that person.”
A couple is set to be married that very day.
A surgeon finishes a grueling night shift.
A station attendant guides stranded passengers at a terminal station.

On a night when the last trains are suspended early due to a powerful approaching typhoon, the godlike force of the “storm” quietly begins to alter each of their destinies.

The third installment in the bestselling God on the Last Train series, with over 500,000 copies sold!
