Afterwar

Rating:
Summary: Uneven collection of short stories, some good, most bad
Review: This book contains 11 short stories from various science fiction authors. All stories take place in a post nuclear war setting.

Most of the stories are incredibly shallow, such as a story by Ian Watson called "When Idaho Dived" in which an old man tries to convince his tribesmen that there is a metal submarine that will take them to food through the sand.

Not really enough good stuff here to make it worth more than the 50 cents I spent on it at a yard sale but Gregory Benford's "To the Storming Gulf" gets an honorable mention.
