Warriors of the Wasteland

Douglas Hill has a new resistance-fighter hero, now in his second adventure. Finn Ferral brawls with and resists his oppressors in an era beyond the holocaust when the earth, or what's left of it, is ruled by aliens, who send their slavers to capture the few remaining humans. These will then be utilised for barbaric experiments, aimed ultimately at reducing mankind to its monkey ancestors, Ferral's quest is heroic, exciting and bloody, peopled by highly distinctive friends and foes. The busy, macho leather and thongs cover illustration predicts well the flavour of the contents. As a book for those, boys especially, whose reading interest in flagging, this one should be a reviver and lead on to the others in the set.
