john christopher

the very best of the nearly forgotten - wrote book after book about the end of the world - his young adult ranks among the best ever written - his many novels of the post-apocalypse as matter-of-fact as you please, at once hyper modern and rooted in the 1950’s and early 1960’s - here presented for you are three of his strange post-apocalypses - death by plague, death by comet, death by ice age - and the first in the second of his masterful post-apoc-young-adult trilogies - the unusually dark ‘sword in the spirits’ trilogy - with an unusually fine cover
