You gotta love 70's Sci-Fi

The Horseclan series contains nearly 20 books which were published between 1970 and the late 80's. The setting is post World War III America - a common theme for sci fi from that time period. No apes ruling the planet or roving punk rock bikers though...This series is more like an epic, with numerous plot threads (some of which are related and some that are not), alot of 'history' and more charachters than you can count. This book is the seventh in the series and not a good jump on point for new readers. You really need some understanding of the Horseclan world to follow what's going on here.This particular story has about 5 plots which all eventually come together (which doesn't always happen in this series) and are resolved. There's plenty of action - it get's graphic at times, so it's not for the feint of heart. The charachters are very interesting, but sometimes Mr. Anderson goes into too much detail on the backrounds of the minor ones, making for a little bit of tedious reading .Overall its a fun read and fits in well with the other HC novels. The plot moves towards a somewhat predictable conclusion, but there are enough twists to keep the reader guessing. If you enjoy this series its definately worth picking up as an addition to your Horseclans collection.
