Mr. McQuinn's ability to bring the 'future' world to life is amazing. His characters are extremely well-defined; the landscape is rich with texture and description; and the story-line is fascinating. I am looking forward to reading the rest of the trilogy.

Here's the set-up:
It's been over 500 years since a
devastating world war shattered modern civilization, leaving small bands
of survivors to rebuild a world without technology or infrastructure.
The people who inhabit the recovering world have no memory of the
technologies of the past, and history has been twisted into legends.
Gan
Moondark has always been a loner among his own people, preferring the
company of his war dogs over his tribe. His father wants Gan to succeed
him as War Chief for the Dog People, but his fellow tribesman thirst for
battle and view him with mistrust. As tensions threaten to boil over
into civil war, he must find out if he can live up to his father's
expectations and become the great leader he's been prophesied to be.
All
the while, deep in the heart of the Enemy Mountains, something both new
and ancient is slowly awakening. A strange cave cradles a
long-forgotten secret that is slowly coming back to life.
First in the Warrior Trilogy, Escape To Challenge is the first of nine books in the Moondark Saga.
One Reviewer Notes:
Long after the nuclear winter, humanity survives on the American continent much as the original Native Americans did, and tribes such as the Dog People struggle to maintain their identity in the face of an emerging Empire bent on conquest. The author of Targets (Tor, 1983) has skillfully crafted a novel of sf adventure featuring strong male and female characters.
