Horseclans #14
A Man Called Milo Morai
"Be reconciled, or be destroyed!" For some time, trouble had been brewing between clans Linsee and Skaht. Many men and women had been killed in raids, and the feud between them threatened to spill over and engulf all the Kindred clans. Finally, the Council of Chiefs passed judgment: Linsee and Skaht must put aside their hatred or be scattered and enslaved. In a last, desperate struggle to save the unity of the Kindred, Milo promises to intercede, taking the assembled sons and daughters on a journey of the mind to a strange and distant place...back to the twentieth century!

About the author
Robert Adams
74 books68 followersFranklin Robert Adams (August 31, 1933 - January 4, 1990) was an American science fiction and fantasy writer, formerly a career soldier. He is best known for his "Horseclans" books. He wrote as Robert Adams, an abbreviated form of his full name.
Adams was an early pioneer of the post-holocaust novel. His Horseclans novels are precursors to many of today's attempts at this type of story, many of which do not exhibit his painstakingly detailed world view or extraordinary plot follow-through (many of his Horseclans books are so interlinked that they make sense only when read in order; he did not create many "stand alone" books in the series).
Hallmarks of Adams' style include a focus on violent, non-stop action, meticulous detail in matters historical and military, strong description, and digressions expounding on various subjects from a conservative and libertarian viewpoint.

Best book in the series other than book #1. Here we learn much more of the history of the mysterious Milo Morai with a tale told of his life during the 1930s and 40s.

The Horseclans series is probably the best blend of fantasy and SiFi I have ever read. Pretty much something for everyone in these books. Great characters, epic storyline, fantastic writings. My highest recommendation
