A review by kevin_carson
Saint Leibowitz and the Wild Horse Woman by Walter M. Miller Jr., Terry Bisson

5.0

Apparently many consider this sequel a letdown from the previous book, but I don't know why. Miller did an amazing job of world-building, obviously putting a lot of anthropological reading into his development of the Plains Nomad culture and the political geography of North America. The mysticism and heterodoxy of Nimmy and Amen Specklebird are also interesting, considering Miller was probably going through his own crisis of faith when writing them.
