Well Fritz Leiber has penned another good yarn.Its sort of cool that stories out of print are re-released to awaiting fans, because to me its like Leiber is still alive and I can wait for other books of his I havent read.Well to the story, it is a tale of survival in outlaw lands after nuclear destruction but it is also a character study.It also deals with issues Leiber was going through when he wrote this (12 step program refrences) and because of this some might not understand parts of the book.
The charachters are not as interesting as Gather Darkness (another book by Leiber) but the story while not tidy and neat, does get credit for ingenuity and reach.
Also it is a short story or novellette in length so it would be better as a book in compilation (maybe combined with Gather Darkness).But for a Fritz Leiber fan a must read.
Product Description
