I got through about six of those, but migod, Sterling never stops! I finally did stop.Indeed. Dies the Fire deserves a special shout-out. In the Book, and series--those camo-wearing, survivalist types don't come off well at all. Most of them turn predator and are in turn..handled by the majority remaining. While the college town of Corvallis..fortifies itself and uses its stored knowledge to build a stable society.
Camo becomes a chancy choice of clothing..as anyone wearing it becomes suspect~
My favorite is the other side of the country, his Nantucket series, Island on the Sea of Time, which island is catapulted by forces unknown back to 1250 BC. Which is during the Trojan War. I've been to Nantucket so I can really imagine it. I've read the trilogy several times now.
