Lester del Rey recommends
The Broken Lands (1968) (Empire of the East, book 1) Fred Saberhagen "There are few writers who can do justice to a really rich set of characters and backgrounds, and Saberhagen has already proved he is one of the best." | Over the River and Through the Woods (1995) Clifford D Simak "I always loved his stories, short or long. He made me love them -and the rural America of his childhood - as much as he did." |
