The Breaking of Northwall : The Pelbar Cycle, Book One Paperback / softback
by Paul O. Williams
Part of the Beyond Armageddon series
Paperback / softback
Description
One thousand years after a devastating and chaotic series of nuclear exchanges, all that is left of the United States of America are scattered, warring tribes and small city-states.
One of the latter is Pelbar—proud, civilized, and intolerant of change and new ideas.
Rebels and troublemakers are sentenced to a year of exile at the massive midwestern fortress of Northwall, defending Pelbar against the fierce Shumai and Sentani tribes.
Restless and brilliant Jestak is a visionary who has seen and learned too much in his distant travels to be content with life in Pelbarigan.
During his exile at Northwall, he makes contact with Pelbar’s age-old enemies and risks all to rescue his beloved Tia from nomads armed with long-lost weapons from before the atomic holocaust.
Jestak’s daring quest for love brings profound changes to his world.
The Breaking of Northwall is the first in a series of seven classic postapocalyptic novels about the Pelbar people.
Williams’s fascinating and uniquely optimistic vision of an America long after a nuclear war has enthralled readers for decades.
