nigellicus's review
5.0
Technically the first book in the Dark Future cycle, set in a dilapidated decaying alternative United States, most of which has been reduced to scorching desert, plagued by roving bands of armed gangs, with only the reconstituted US Road Cavalry keeping the highways open. There are dark forces at work, ushering in the end of the world, and as part of their plans, they unleash a demon virus on an unsuspecting Cavalry patrol. Satire, ultra-violence and lots of in-jokes follow in a fast-paced, tightly-plotted well-written chunk of sci-fi horror.
