Title: Entertaining, fascinating, but flawed by its epic scope
Product review: The world of this book is wonderful, a post-apocalyptic wasteland and all that, but one with a number if unique twists. A strange "call" draws people, lemming like, to self destruction. Any technological (read "electrical") device destroys itself in a shower of sparks if operated. Pistol duels are commonplace.The story, the characters, and the writing are all excellent. Unfortunately, the book out-scopes itself, particularly towards the end. It is as if, in order to complete the tail, a few too many characters are introduced, a few too many settings, and all seem to wash the story out.
