5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best post atomic war novels of the fifties, May 23, 2006
By 
This review is from: Dark December (Paperback)
I must first of all say that the picture on the cover of the edition posted here is much better than mine; mine--a Fawcett mass-market re-print from 1970-- makes the story look like it takes places on another planet--with people in spacesuits and helmets and the whole nine yards, which is absurd, because the book deals-- quite well- with the devastating effects of a nuclear war upon the West Coast of the United States.

I was pleasantly surprised by this book, if one can say that about a book about such catastrophic events...but I was quite impressed by the hard-headedness of the narrative. This book seems close in style to The Postman, with a lone wanderer in a Pacific NW wilderness/wasteland battling bandits, rouge army commanders and what-not. Grim stuff about struggling for survival in a world gone wrong. if you are a fan of John Christopher's novels such as NO BLADE OF GRASS, then DARK DECEMBER will be your cup of tea. Cheers!
