i rate this book incredible! it was shockingly great.i devoured the pages as if they were ice cream! if you like king arthur and merlin and magic you will love this. the second book even though is alot smaller it has a ton of action and magic. in this book girls and boys triumph and they are all amazing. this is a magical story.

A future struggling for humanity and survival.

Pamela F. Service's TOMORROW'S MAGIC is set five hundred years since a nuclear holocaust decimated the Earth's population, in Britain where mutants seem to be taking over. Wellington and Heather are concerned about trying to keep up school when their classmate discovers he's Merlin the wizard - and thus begins another Arthurian fantasy, this set in a future struggling for humanity and survival.

A novel take on the Arthurian legend

A sequel to "Winter of Magic's Return" this book deals with King Arthur's return to England, with the aid of a very young Merlin and his companions. Set in a nuclear winter where technology barely exists and magic is staging a comeback this is a highly amusing book. Merlin (for reasons explained in the prior book) is in his late teens and his two companions are also teens of that era. The three of them, plus Arthur are attempting to reunite the various duchis, kingdoms and principalities that England has become, against Arthur's old enemy Morgan Le Fay. While not as fascinating as the book that preceded it, this is still a servicable sequel, although i wish there were one to this as well.

Excellent sequel to WINTER OF MAGIC'S RETURN . . .

I just want to know when Ms. Service is going to come out with a third book!This is a magical follow-up to WINTER OF MAGIC'S RETURN, and it focuses on the trio of close friends, Welly, Heather, and the youthened Merlin, now known as Earl. Five centuries after nuclear devastation, magic finally returns to the world, and King Arthur as returned to Britain in time of her need. However, as evidenced in the title, there is a new kind of magic appearing in the world -- and there may not be any room for Earl's magic now! As fun a romp as the previous book!
