Smith, Mitchell. MOONRISE: BOOK THREE OF THE SNOWFALL TRILOGY. New York: Forge, [2004]. Octavo, boards. First edition. Third book of the "Snowfall" series, a loosely connected trilogy set in the near-future on a post-apocalyptic Earth gripped by a new Ice Age where remnants of civilization fight over territory and technology. "Boston's perverted technology, used to conquer and oppress, seems almost like magic to the North Americans who are slowly dragging themselves back up the ladder of civilization. Now the rulers of Boston eye the chaos in Middle Kingdom and find it ripe for conquest" (publisher's blurb). Meanwhile, rebellious genetically engineered "Persons" have turned on their makers and plot the destruction of Boston, the frozen city that gave them life. "Beautiful, compulsively readable ... one of the finer post-apocalyptic tales of recent years. The blending of ancient and postmodern traits convinces us that we are indeed witnessing a futuristic milieu ... Withstands comparison to Russell Hoban's RIDDLEY WALKER and John Crowley's ENGINE SUMMER." - Paul Di Filippo. A fine copy in fine dust jacket. (#146382).
