Summary: Good Variant on the Typical Post-Apocalypse Setting
Review: This novel is a good variation on one of the great standards of scifi: Centuries after present-day civilization is wiped out by (insert nuclear war, plague, alien decimation, meteors, etc.), the earth is a frightening, inimicable place full of mutants, monsters, remnants of ancient technology, mysterious cults, noble villagers, and of course, the mandatory evil overlords. In this case, the evil overlords are known as the Sky Lords, and they're what makes this book a notch above the usual fare. The Lords are neo-feudal warriors, each clan in control of a massive solar-powered zeppelin. Each zeppelin makes a grand circuit through its territory, exacting tribute from the 'earthworms', the poor unfortunates who are forced to eke out a meager suvival on the ground. The Sky Lords, the first book of a trilogy, focuses on Jan Dorvin, the sole survivor of an Amazon village which is wiped out by the local Sky Lord. Taken as a slave, she swears vengeance... Well worth reading; highly recommended.
