Dust Lands

Library of Congress Catalog Records for the two Dust Lands books now extant.

Blood red road (US ed.) LCC record.
Rebel heart (US ed.) LCC record.

ISFDB tags the two books "young adult sf" (science fiction) and "post apocalypse".[1]

Cover

Before saving, I reconsidered and cut this chunk of code for export to Talk --with my comment in [brackets]. The image was deleted before my time and I don't know it. Perhaps it was intended to show and explain that the novel was retitled Dust Lands: Blood Red Road after its success ensured a trilogy.

==Cover== [was section 1 heading]

This remade (for paperback edition/rest of the series) cover features Saba in what is known as the "Sandsea"

(end import) --P64 (talk)

Let me improve that. Some improvement is necessary because by mistake I did NOT as previously stated import my contemporary comments, now long forgotten.

Blood Red Road is not a dystopian novel

Blood Red Road is not a dystopian novel. it is a post-apocalyptic novel.

The people are poor because of whatever happened, whatever the "wreckers" did, caused an environmental catastrophe. after that, a bad government arose, a "king" who uses drugs on his slaves to maintain power.

However, this bad government is distant. it doesn't exert control over the lives the subjects of the book, other than when it kidnaps the protagonist's brother to sacrifice him in the belief that his power will be transferred to the king. this sacrifice plays not apparent role, no social role, in maintaining the power of the king, and it doesn't even appear as part of the religious beliefs of anyone in the novel.

there's a confusion in the main article between "dystopian" novels and post-apocalyptic ones. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.19.63.222 (talk) 03:54, 6 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
