This book is at the top of my list in the genre of apocalyptic, and post apocalyptic, literature. I've read it twice, once at 27 and again at 57. The attention to characterization, plots and subplots, and every detail is amazing; it must have taken Mr. Brinkley at least five years (more like ten) to write this novel (I wrote a novel, took me three years and six drafts); he obviously poured a great deal of himself, or his ideal for himself, into the main character (by whom I was totally captivated). I can't recommend it highly enough.
