Alas, Babylon

#1086
Title: Alas, Babylon
Author: Pat Frank 
Year: 1959/2012
Publisher: J. B. Lippincott/Brilliance Audio
Pages: 323

Filling in my historical post-apocalyptic science fiction reading, I decided it was time for Alas, Babylon. "Alas" I agree with. Moralistic, priggish, male-centered, and conservative, it's like bad Heinlein without the warm yet crusty fellow who makes you care about the action. Recommended only for historical purposes; it has not aged well.
