From the Back Cover
I was one hundred miles from Nowhere―and I mean that literally―when I spotted this girl out of the corner of my eye. I’d been keeping an extra lookout because I still expected the other undead bugger left over from the murder party at Nowhere to be stalking me.Welcome to Deathland, a postapocalyptic nuclear desert where kill or be killed is the law of the land. The radiation-damaged survivors of this ravaged region are consumed by the urge to murder each other, making partnership of any sort a lethal risk. But when two drifters forge an uneasy truce, the possibility of a new life beckons.Written by a multiple Hugo Award–winning author and one of the founders of the sword-and-sorcery genre, this novel-length magazine story first appeared at the height of Cold War paranoia. Fritz Leiber's thought-provoking tale addresses timeless questions about the influences of community and culture as well as the individual struggle to reform.Dover (2015) reprinted from the January 1960 issue of Amazing Science Fiction Stories.See every Dover book in print atwww.doverpublications.com

No Finlay art, just a good story By Manly Reading Despite listing "art by Finlay" there is no Virgil Finlay art in this kindle book; however there is in other e-versions, and you can always poke around the internet and turn up an illustration or two. But the book is free, so you can't really complain too much.The story is a novella - 93 kindle pages, with a distinct beginning, middle and end. That might sound trite, but in structure its closer to novel than merely being a glorified short story. This is a post-apocalyptic tale of survival in a world of radiation poisoning, madness, and social and religious upheaval. It's a bit fast and loose with the timeframes on occasion, as well as how much of the "old world" people remember, but a large part of that can be put down to having a narrator that is not just unreliable, but pretty much insane.Said Narrator is "Ray", and the book starts out with him in the Deathlands, meeting "Alice", doing murder, and running into a strange old man called "Pop", who is a card-carrying member of Murderers Anonymus (MA for short). After that we get into the heart of the problem, so to speak: in a radioactive wasteland how do you maintain, or rebuild, a functioning society, and what is a functioning society at all? There is still action and conflict - this is not just a talky philosophy piece - but in one sense this is the best of sci-fi, asking questions of the reader and largely leaving the answers up to you.To an extent this is dated now, to the 50's when it was written as a classic Cold War warning, but that's alright, as it remains a work of its time without being anachronistic in any sense. It's a good read, and you can't beat the price.

By Zephan The Night of the Long Knives by Fritz Leiber simply stands the test of time as far as post-apocalypse SF stories go. Written over fifty years ago, the concept of survival in a radioactive wasteland that was once America is still fresh. This is a very promising short novel by Fritz Leiber. It makes me want to read more titles by this author, some available on Kindle.
3 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Fritz Leiber- Still good after all these years! By Two Bears Reading classic Science Fiction is a guilty pleasure. Comparing the predictions of authors like Fritz Leiber or H. Beam Piper, 40+ years later is in itself worth the effort. Additionally, their character development while seemly cursory, is still strangely engaging and satisfying. Whether it is the "Grey Mouser" in "Swords of Lankamar"or Pops in "Night of the Long Knives", it is hard to put down this "brain candy".
