When the last great war came, a small group of survivors hid themselves below the fields of Kansas, living in a place of eternal twilight. *** Over time the energy surrounding the descendants of these survivors turned them into Duendes, ghost-like beings, never having seen real light or knowing anything of the conditions of the world beyond their underground enclosure. *** Six hundred years have passed since the war and now some Duendes want to leave the safety of their habitat and finally go 'above.' But what will they discover once they have emerged into the sunlight?
Always interesting, Paul Cooks earlist works are the flight of fancy. A society existing under the soil of the USA believing that they are the last remains of humankind... Only to venture forth and find the world covered with the Hammer and Sickle of the USSR. Great read.
