Synopsis
Essef - This is the story of a lie that became the most powerful kind of truth. A timeless novel as urgently compelling as War Day or Alas, Babylon, David Brin's The Postman is the dramatically moving saga of a man who rekindled the spirit of America through the power of a dream, from a modern master of science fiction. He was a survivor - a wanderer who traded tales for food and shelter in the dark and savage aftermath of a devastating war. Fate touches him one chill winter's day when he borrows the jacket of a long-dead postal worker to protect himself from the cold. The old, worn uniform still has power as a symbol of hope, and with it he begins to weave his greatest tale, of a nation on the road to recovery. Probably Brin's most famous novel. Good book, low price!

Review
A major motion picture from Warner Bros., directed by and starring Kevin Costner.
Critical acclaim for David Brin and The Postman: "The Postman will keep you engrossed until you've finished the last page."--Chicago Tribune "Brin is a bold and imaginative writer."--The Washington Post Book WorldFrom the Author
Thanks for the nice remarks!
Thanks for the encouragement, folks. This whole Hollywood thing has been a roller coaster. But the book itself is an anchor. It was a reflection of how I felt when, as a kid, it seemed to me the world might go poof at any time, and how much we'd miss the little things in life... the things that make it worth standing up, now and then, and saying 'I am a member of a civilization.' Hang in there and make it work. David Brin
