You like trains? You like Stargate? How about a galactic civilization connected by sentient trains running on railways that travel through Stargates?
Seriously, go read Railhead. It's great.

At least this story is finished. Even getting three books is a small miracle nowadays. (And I can keep writing things in that world for my own amusement…)
