This out of the way corner of New York seems to have been spared the worst of the apocalypse that played out in distant population centers devastated by nuclear terrorism and disease. At least in this town, it is a gentler post-apocalyptic world than most. For one thing, everyone seems to be extremely well-fed. And there are signs of enterprise and economic revival. But there are also hints of the kind of darkness that might arise, as various groups coalesce around ambitious leaders who seek to impose their will on the community. A thoughtful story that combines philosophical reflection with action.
