- Gordon was a survivor -- a wanderer who traded tales for food and shelter in the dark and savage aftermath of a devastating bio-war. Fate touches him one chill winter"s day when he borrows the jacket of a long-dead postal worker to protect himself from the cold. The old, worn uniform still has power as a symbol of hope, and with it Gordon begins to weave his greatest tale, of a nation on the road to recovery. This best-selling and award-winning work (NOMINEE: 1986 Nebula and Hugo Awards; WINNER: Locus and John W. Campbell Memorial Awards for best novel; "Best" from the American Library Association), The Postman was the core basis for a 1997 motion picture of the same name, starring and directed by Kevin Costner.

Widely considered the most universally "accessible" Brin novel, for those who don"t normally read SF.
