Octavo, cloth.

When his parents are killed, he begins to learn the grisly truth about his world. Well written -- but a horrible, horrible book: full of violence, torture, cannibalism and the death of all hope." - Pringle, the Ultimate Guide to Science Fiction, second edition, p. 372. "This is one of the bleakest and most powerful post-holocaust novels ever written." - Anatomy of Wonder (2004) II-79. A sequel, DAWN'S UNCERTAIN LIGHT, was published in 1989. [Reference: Sargent, British and Utopian Literature, 1986-2009]. Remainder mark, a fine copy in fine dust jacket. (659)
