Dark. Dated - it was very obviously written in the 1970s. Think "Soylent Green" more than "Planet of the Apes". Having said that, it's a different spin on the post-apocalypse trope and its well written. And none of this happily-ever-after ending stuff either.
It is the turn of the twenty-first century. War, disease, and pollution have made the Earth nearly unfit for human habitation. In American, food is scarce, and what food remains is quickly confiscated by the Pirates - a murderous band of raiders determined to save themselves and to destroy the last stronghold of civilized human beings - the mutant population. One of these mutants, a woman named Thea, has eluded the Pirates for years. Armed only with a crossbow, her pride, and common sense, she has been slowly making her way Eastward....Until she meets Evan Montague, a man who needs her help, a man who is also on the run from the Pirates, he once led the Pirates himself and has now become their most bitter and hunted enemy.
