Summary: One of the best "post nuke"
Comment: This is about the best of the post nuke novels around.

The plot is simple, two writers, having survived a very limited nuclear exchange between the Soviet Union and the United States journey around the United States to gather what has happenned to the Country. Along the way, as is foreshadowed above they tell their own stories of survival, as well as interview numerous people- a british navel officer, a canadian banker, a former cabinet menber, a priest and so on. This is combined with the stories of the central narrators who not only reveal their own stories, but tell of their travel.

The central premise is not so much a full collapse of society, but rather a broken and battered United States, with States and territories leaving the Union, independence movements and dependent on overseas aid primarily from the United Kingdom, and Japan.

All in all a solid novel, enjoyable and very readible. Because in many cases the interviews with people are short, you are often left wandering what happened to them in the finish. Well worth a read, and not just by "apocalyptic" fiction fans. Its better than "the stand" anyway.

Rating: 4
Summary: Fascinating speculative fiction.
Comment: Presented as an actual historical study of the effects of a limited nuclear exchange on the US, War Day and the Jounrey Onward is an intriguing read and far superior to Strieber's current non-fiction output. Recommended.

Summary: Food for thought
Comment: I've had this book in paperback for a number of years and re-read it every so often. It's a great read- a realistic account of the aftermath of a nuclear war. No magic, no special effects. Just folks trying to put their lives back together. I keep it on my shelf with "Alas, Babylon", Hammerfall and Emergence. All great books. They're starting to fall apart so I'm trying to find them in hardcover.
