Media Reviews

In these troubled times, the University of Nebraska Press has rendered a great service in reprinting this 1985 anthology of life in the aftermath of cataclysmic (usually nuclear) war... Walter M. Miller, Jr. came out of self-imposed retirement long enough to put together this extraordinary volume... One of the most compelling anthologies of short fiction, post-holocaust SF or otherwise, ever assembled. -Home Planet News
