This book is full of heart even while it DOES have a rather usual trope of religious nutters, white supremacists, and NRA hotheads. It is, however, quite free of rampant female humiliation, gratuitous rape, and violence in general. No, it's not a zombie apocalypse or a big meteorite spoiling everyone's day or the ultimate reversal of the sexes. Wanderers, however, is leagues above most of the current runs of epic dystopias. And I had a bit of a rough time with some of the 70's sexism in Lucifer's Hammer. I'm not saying it has MORE to gloam onto than the Stand, but I had myself a few issues with the Stand. And perhaps a few others that I rank higher than the rest.īut let me be clear.
That's including the Stand, Lucifer's Hammer, or The Power.
I think I had more fun reading this book than I have for ANY apocalypse book. Let me tell you something, my fine folks.
