Reading this series again. The story is cool in a Howard, Conan sort of way. The writing is simple raw and visceral. The made up names of cities and states in the future can be slightly annoying. "Pitzburk, Kharoleenos" It is quite obvious that Adams is a lower denominator writer. But his story telling is effective and as the story progresses the plots gel and the personalities eventually flesh themselves out. It is also quite obvious that the author is not inclined to show pity on ethnicity or sexual proliferation and the women of the tribes are sex crazed piranhas. The action of the battles burn across the pages with a heavy futuristic and dystopian east coast outer banks piraticism. Cliché at best and entertaining. (

Zastros, King of the Southern Ehleenoee, attempts to conquer the virtuous and cat-loving Horseclans and their allies the kingdom of Karaleenos. Milo intervenes. (

Epic in scope. A little less gritty than the the first in the series (Coming of the Horseclans), which featured gore, rape, and torture. Instead, the comical plight of Demetrios offers some levity. The logistics of battle are articulated nicely. The dialogue style is unnatural, however; essentially the dialogue is just more narrative from the author rather than genuine conversation. The primary battle is largely anticlimactic since we are constantly made aware that the antagonist army is uninspired and ill-prepared.

I admit to being enthralled by Ken Kelly's cover art. Compared to the text, the cover art disproportionally brings to life the post-apocalyptic North America "Horseclan" world. I am compelled to read the next in the series, though I am expecting less than after reading the first book. (

I've reread this a couple of times over the years. The first few books are pretty good. Nothing superb, but a fun, fast read if you like this kind of thing. It's more of a fantasy, but there is a Science Fiction basis - it's a post apocalyptic (nuclear war) world where a nomadic people are the good guys. Some super msart animals, a few immortals & such dropped in.I think this is book 2. After about book 6 or 7, I got a little worn out with the series. I've been meaning to go back & read it again, since I didn't have the entire series all at once, but read it out of order, in scattered pieces across the years. (
