I have just finished a book by Marvin Kaye and Parke Godwin entitled *Wintermind* which is fantastic. Chillingly realistic and enthralling. *Wintermind* is set in the far (far!) future after an invasion of the USA succeeds. The conquerors are later stranded and the society changes. Many factions form and this book is about the mingling of three of them - the City, the covens, and the "cowans". The City folk pursue knowledge, the "cowans" survive, and the covens have developed a telepathic group-consciousness. The story relates how individuals in the three groups react to change and culminates in a terrifying revelation about the very real differences between the City and the covens. I found this book very fine. The action is fast and you don't begin to realize that all is NOT well until rather late although the protagonists have their problems like normal folk. And by the time you realize that things are not right, the pace is swifter and it is impossible to stop. READ THIS BOOK!! Other comments? Emily Brooks ...ihnp4!akgua!edb

I also very much liked _Wintermind_ and read it several months ago, when it first appeared. I am anxiously awaiting the next book. note that _Wintermind_ is a SEQUEL to _The Masters of Solitude_ by the same authors (which I also liked very much).
