The author's first book. Non-utopian first book of the "Orange County" trilogy. In a keep-like enclave, a new pastoral community emerges in Southern California following a decade of nuclear winter, but the inhabitant's ignorance of the world outside is ultimately self-defeating. 1984 Nebula nominee. Anatomy of Wonder (2004) II-918.
