Life continues for a few but the future is threatened as the v alues of the old culture come under attack from an increasingly superstitious pe ople. For Michael, it is the past that offers hope. Forbidden to marry and have children because his parents died of radiation sickness, he becomes The Keeper c opying old books and recording the dramatic tale of his people. But when a group of young people breaks away in search of a new life, Michael decides to accompa ny them on their adventures. With its lush setting on New Zealand's North Island , this is an exciting and challenging novel about the struggle to survive the un thinkable. Editorial Reviews From School Library Journal Grade 7-9 This futuri stic tale, set sometime after a nuclear holocaust, is about a remaining culture trying to kill a roaming tiger before the tiger attacks them. They live in the ` `shadow of the bomb'' where ``loners,'' those directly disfigured by radiation e xposure, banish themselves from the others. The main character's parents were lo ners, and near the story's end he and readers learn that they were killed becaus e it was believed that they were responsible for a volcanic eruption and storm w hich led people to believe the world was at an end. This is a depressing, slow-m oving account of life after the bomb. Unlike Gloria Miklowitz' After the Bomb (S cholastic, 1985), the plot is weak; the characters are colorless; and readers le arn little of how the people really live, eat, intermingle, etc. A mediocre trea tment of a subject about which there is much interest.
