En la tercera guerra mundial sólo se usaron seis misiles, que bastaron para hundir todo vestigio de civilización. Para un puñado de hombres, la lucha de cada día es ahora sobrevivir frente a la amenaza del hambre y, ante todo, de los propios seres humanos, que han vuelto a la barbarie. Las historias que componen "La gente del margen" narran la apasionante e intensa odisea de hombres y mujeres que reconstruyen un mundo perdido, sus problemas y dificultades.

Disappointing. West being the best; Parent Wagon being so bad that I quit part way thru. Exact opposite of what I expected from this author after reading "Ender's Game" ( )

alternative view point or Mormons left after a couple years of collapse. 5 short stories, 1st one great, last one is rather different. ( )

A tale of post-apocalyptic America, that has some interesting characters and ideas and is well told through a set of short stories. Sometimes, it seemed, the stories did not connect very well. It's told in a Mormon context and pretty much tells the tale of "local" America--stressed. Although the apocalypse was nuclear, we saw no effects. All in all, a pretty darn average Mormon fantasy. ( )
