Message Send Failure
By: Megan V.

In David Brin's The Postman, the reader is dropped into a post-apocalyptic wasteland of what was once America. Here we follow the main character Gordon Krantz, a scruffy near middle aged man who has fared as a traveler practically all on his own during the sixteen years of war, plagues, and bombs that ravaged the country. He is practical, cunning, and suffers from occasional short sightedness. Gordon follows old ideals that were common sixteen years prior but can be impractical and often times dangerous in the time after the war. Throughout the novel we see him struggle with his idealistic mentality and his basic survival instincts.
