The Postman

De: David Brin

Narrado por: Kevin Kenerly

He was a survivor - a wanderer who traded tales for food and shelter in the dark and savage aftermath of a devastating war.

Fate touches him one chill winter’s day when he borrows the jacket of a long-dead postal worker to protect himself from the cold. The old, worn uniform still has power as a symbol of hope, and with it he begins to weave his greatest tale, of a nation on the road to recovery.

This is the story of a lie that became the most powerful kind of truth. A timeless novel as urgently compelling as War Day or Alas, Babylon, David Brin’s The Postman is the dramatically moving saga of a man who rekindled the spirit of America through the power of a dream, from a modern master of science fiction.

Portentous

Wonderfully written and riveting! Also portentous of what is happening in the US today. A must read.

The Postman

Definitely a five .... the story, the narrator, the happy, the sad, the excitement, the danger. The characters and scenery are so vivid. Initially I thought this would turn into another 'Walking Dead" story, but I decided to give it a bit more time. I am so glad I stayed with it. As it turned out it changed into something I couldn't get enough of. HOORAY , David Brin for writing this and HOORAY Kevin Kenerly for your wonderful narration. Thank you

Enjoyed a story set in Oregon

The story is engaging although quite a lot different than the movie. Obviously the author knew his southern Oregon geography! Even small remote towns are noted accurately.

Much different than the movie but just as good!

As a fan of the Fallout series of games, I love post apocalyptic stories that bring something unique. The Postman movie did that and I really enjoyed it so I was hesitant about the book. Turns out, the book is much different but just as entertaining. This is an overlooked gem in the post-apocalyptic genre. Give it a listen.

Good story, movie was better

A really good story, but i found it hard to follow in the last few hours. The movie was a little better.
