The Guardians emerged from the ashes of World War III. Armed to the hilt, they were ready to bring the United States back to its feet. The President was still alive. And now, the time had come for the U.S. government to reestablish power.

It's a tough, deadly mission-and nearly impossible. The country is in a state of utter chaos. The post-nuclear rubble is crawling with warring gangs and rebel factions. And the Guardians
have to choose their allies carefully-and quickly-while a bloody bid for power erupts on the ravaged battlefields of post-war desolation...

I liked it.

A shocking, frightening, brilliant character study

Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2000

Having seen the film before reading the novel I had very specific notions of what the book should be like, especially in light of the fact that the screenplay was written by Stuart himself. Needless to say, I was quite wrong. Both the film and the novel are very impressive, although in very different ways. I doubt that a more faithful adaptation of the novel could have ever made its way to the screen, even in countries less puritanical than the US or Britain. It is not so much the ambivalent nature of the incestious father-daughter-brother triangle that makes the novel so challenging as it is the likable nature of the the character of Jessie (the daughter/sister). This is because she seems to lack a conscience completely. Yet she is not psychotic. In her own way, she is even a warm, loving being. This contradiction is, what, to me, makes the novel so fascinating.
