Milo of Morai's Northern Kingdom is under attack by the first wave of raiding boats from the Pirate Islands. To stave off the barbaric forces of King Zastros and his savage hordes, Milo must control the warring factions within his own far-flung empire.

Brute strength and agile cunning are needed to form and hold together a strong confederation of loyal nations in the first ordered state since the cataclysm.

Travel into the world of the future--into a time when man is recovering from a series of disasters that altered known geography and thousands of years of civilization. Earth's new man is gifted with supernormal mental powers, but also cursed with a primitive environment. Progress is measured by survival...

IN THE BRUTAL WORLD OF THE HORSECLANS, EITHER YOU RIDE OR YOU DIE.

"Among the best adventure stories." --Andre Norton
