During his travels, Gordon is mistaken for a real postman, an error which he encourages in order to survive. The Postman is an exploration of truth, ideals, dreams and hope. Above all, however, it is an exploration of responsibility. If you have not read this book, what are you waiting for. An experiment in solar energy gone awry results in four deluges of biblical proportions.
Torrential rains raise water levels hundreds of feet in only weeks and wash away entire cities.
Death tolls stand at 60 to 90 percent mortality in coastal areas and even higher ground is not immune to the rivers of water falling from the sky. Against this backdrop, Gus and Thatch, an oddly symbiotic pair of neurotics, are leaving Florida in their Winnebago and heading for high ground. As the waters rise, Gus, certain that civilization is at an end, dreams of creating a new order and repopulating the Earth. Th e new order is in some danger, however, as each person's secrets come to light. This book is quite a departure from Anthony's better known books like the sweet pun filled Xanth novels.
