Not too bad - in the post-apocalyptic vein.
A thousand years after war and invasion shattered American society, City people live for hundreds of years within the barriers of their computerized Gate. Outside, life is short and bitter, as neo-pagans with telepathy struggle to survive against Mrikan good ol' boy bandits. However, within the last decade some of the barriers have come down, and life is changing for all... to the dismay of Shalane, an old-fashioned priestess whose husband has lost his faith, fascinated with all things new, and whose daughter wholeheartedly considers herself a City girl. Beyond the family conflicts, there is the mystery and the terror of the legend known as the Wintermind.... Can the doctor, Corian, solve the riddle and save the people he loves?
