Excellent look at a far future of a world that might come to pass if science goes horribly awry. How would the population segregrate? What kind of new cultures would form? Very enjoyable read. I was quite surprised at this hidden gem. ( )

This is a collection of 3 short novels about a post-apocalypse Earth, where warriors achieve standing through a life-long series of gladiator type combats, while trying at the same time to fight the system that keeps them down. Similar in style and ton to some of the Berserker stories by Saberhagen. Not amazing, but quite interesting. ( )

I read this the first time in 1978/1979. Somewhere along the line I traded it or gave it away, and finally found it again, at long last.

Classic fantasy with mythological themes. Simple plot, not bad writing, for Anthony, and something of a flashback to the eighties. ( )

Sos The Rope:
The kill spirits of the blast were retreating and Sos was pledged to begin an empire, to build a dream - the same dream which had been built so many times, eons ago.
----------------------------
Var the Stick:
Var was the chosen one - half-man, half-animal, a mutant victim of the blast - called upon to rescue the Empire in a battle he was secretly afraid of winning.
-------------------------------------------
Neq The Sword:

An age of darkness was upon the Empire and Neq, the greatest of warriors, was embarked on a quest that would decide the future of the world!
