Title: After the bombs had stopped, there was still the war
Product review: One of Glen Cook's first published novels - although perhaps not "the first" - The Heirs of Babylon is set in a post-apocalyptic world that has not given up the fight despite having little remaining reason to fight for anything but civilization's rubble. Decades after the initial conflict, a rag-tag fleet of poorly maintained and damaged ships - a shadow of the state-of-the-art naval warships they once were - sets sail to teach the enemy a lesson once and for all. I thought there was a sort of epic doomed quality to the novel with the "last ride" of its final naval armada (have I mixed the metaphor?). Anyway, it's a quick read and worth picking up.
