A Heritage of Stars by Clifford D. Simak

4.0

I didn’t think a post-apocalyptic novel could be described as cozy, but this was a joy to read. Despite being a science fiction, it has the feel of a road-trip fantasy story. It starts with a single protagonist, but collects more as it goes on “Wizard of Oz”-style.

Despite the bleakness of the world, a hopefulness is kept up with the characters and maintains itself to the end, a welcome change from much of its contemporaries.
