Combined Destinies! On Earth of the far future, city dwellers live in a technologically advanced environment, while bands of nomads barbarically hunt and farm the plains. Hidden within the city is Erin, a crazed scientist, who is constructing a timejumper. On the plains is a nomad boy who quests after the city's secrets. Unknown to both, an evil force works to keep them apart, for it knows that if they ever meet, a new Earth destiny would be inevitable!
What a fantastic little find. I found this book in mediocre shape in a tiny library and decided to give it a go. What a page turner, finished it the same day! This is the kind of scifi that one can read a 100 years from now and it would still be an intersting book. I was pleasantly surprised and can recommend anyone reading it.
SF-elements aside this dystopian/utopian read deals with the theme how those in power (or think they are) manipulate civilians (and often eachother) with the sole purpose of remaining in power.
