| Re: Post Apocalyptic Genre
Being a child in the 50s, it seemed that half the stuff I read was "post-apocalyptic". Must have been the Cold War and those "duck and cover" drills....
One of the earliest novels I recall reading was of this genre, Star Man's Son by Andre Norton. The central character is the son of a "star man", a trained scavenger and explorer who braves the devastated cities that were once America.
Filled with radioactive hazards and mutant rats, they are rather dangerous...
I must have read dozens of short stories and paperback novels back then that I scarcely remember.... |
