          <body><![CDATA[Neal Stephenson is a niche superstar. If you’re into writing code and reading science fiction there’s a good chance you’ve read at least some of his books.

          <body><![CDATA[Another sort of post-apocalypse book.  Really more of a post-slow-decline book.  No real explanation is given for the world’s state in the book though some mention is made of bombs going off in Los Angeles and Washington D.C. and apparently oil/gasoline is no longer available.

The main character is a Knight Templar named Rannulf Fitzwilliam.<br/><br/>Lots of fighting and some court intrigue stuff.  It seems fairly realistic.
