THE MASTERS OF SOLITUDE.
Garden City: Doubleday & Company, Inc., 1978. Octavo, boards. First edition. "Borrowing a little from Tolkien and a touch from BRAVE NEW WORLD, this fantasy of America's distant future is equally interesting and exciting" - Bookviews. "Combining the intriguing plot with an army of fascinating characters, strange weapons and well-paced action, the authors have created a first-rate fantasy." - Publishers Weekly. "As an SF writer, Godwin remains best known for the first two volumes of the Masters of Solitude sequence, both with Marvin Kaye: THE MASTERS OF SOLITUDE (1978) and WINTERMIND (1982); a projected third volume did not appear. Set in a post-holocaust USA, the first volume depicts a conflict between rural followers of a diseased mutant form of Christianity and a city in which a science-based world view is encapsulated; in the second, a personal drama and an interesting half-breed protagonist intensify the grain of narrative, but peculiarly diminish the sense, given off by the earlier book, of a large SF occasion." - John Clute, SFE (online).
