From Library Journal
Mister Touch is blind, white, a former Wall Street crook, and the leader of the Skulls , the New York survivors of an apocalyptic virus that has killed most of the human race. The Skulls are trying to maintain a semblance of civilization, but there are a few other survivors, too--drug-crazed sex fiends, wild dogs. Breathing and sight problems afflict the Skulls, and Mister Touch decides they should migrate to a better climate--Arizona. Each of the Skulls has been given a new name to forget the past. (Over 120 names and descriptions are listed in an appendix; and except for five or six main characters, referral is necessary.) The escape from New York, the journey across America, and the climax in Arizona are filled with adventure, pop dialog, and philosophical speculations on life, race, religion, law, and survival. Echoes of The Road Warrior , mentioned in the text, are here, but this is a richer work. Complex, sometimes funny, always human, this novel by the author of the best-selling The Warlord deserves a wide readership. It might become a cult favorite. Recommended.
