The Ends of the Circle, by Paul O. Williams, copyright 1981; Del Rey/Ballantine Books, April 1981; ISBN 0-345-29551-X. Book Two of The Pelbar Cycle

This was the book in the series that I read first, many years ago. I'm in the process of rereading the series in order for the first time.

The Breaking of Northwall, by Paul O. Williams, copyright 1981; Del Rey/Ballantine Books, First Edition February 1981, Fifth Printing October 1984; ISBN 0-345-32434-X. Cover art by Darrel K. Sweet, Map by Chris Barbieri. Book One of The Pelbar Cycle.

Back in the eighties, when these were first published, I read the second book of The Pelbar Cycle before I read this, the first book, and I remember it was a little bit hearing legends in the second book, and then getting to meet some of the legends in the first book.

I like books these for the interesting post apocalypse societies.

The Gifts of the Gorboduc Vandal, by Paul O. Williams, copyright 1989; Del Rey/Ballantine Books, May 1989; ISBN 0-345-35597-0.

An interesting science fiction novel by the author of the post-apocalyptic Pelbar Cycle series of novels. Like the Pelbar novels, I enjoyed this more for the ideas than the style.

Apparently there is a sequel to this, The Man from Far Cloud, published in 2004. I really ought to see about finding a copy.
