I don't know why I like it so much & it probably doesn't deserve 4 stars, but there is a quirky charm to it. Set in an odd, post apocalyptic world, fighting duels in a circle is the road to dominance in the society. What lengths a man will go to for victory & what the costs are is the basic theme. When originally published, the second book, 'Var the Stick' (people are named for their weapons, which are codified.) was the only book I could find for years. It hinted at this book, but I couldn't find it for years. Finally, the trilogy was re-issued in a single volume & shortly after that I found a copy of both the first & third volumes - FINALLY! Anyway, this search may have colored my enjoyment of this trilogy - the anticipation was fierce. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Good but simple post-apocalyptic fiction.
