Dr Bloodmoney

A few years on from the day the bombs fell, the community of Point Reyes is doing just fine. The barter economy is working well enough, the people are reasonably normal – with the exception, of course, of the girl with her twin brother growing inside her – and the local genius can repair just about anything that breaks down. There's mushroom gathering, there are town meetings and the astronaut DJ broadcasting from space. But the residents of Point Reyes don't know that they are harbouring the one man who almost everyone left alive wants dead... Epic and alluring, this brilliant novel is a mesmerizing depiction of Dick's undying hope in humanity.
