The Postman - June 2011

34. The Postman - David Brin

400 Pages, Borrowed from Local Library

Civilisation has been destroyed; not by nuclear weapons or a plague but by violent survivalists...

..kind of a BS premise for the book but once you get past that it's a great story.

A guy wandering through the former U.S. of A. hides in an old postal van and finds a warm postman's jacket and a bag of letters. He takes both, hoping to trade the letters for food; and slowly takes on the role of "The Postman"; an everyday hero destined to rid the land of the bad guys and restart civilisation to boot!

A cracker of a read, great way of looking at a post-apocalyptic land and a fun and entertaining read as well.

What more could you want ?!?

I give The Postman 5 "Holnists" out of 5
