John Christopher: Beyond the Burning Lands, The Swords of the Spirits Trilogy (Childrens Books Apocalyptic)

In the second of the Swords of the Spirits trilogy, John Christopher continues the story of an unruly, angry youth who attempts to do right. The burning lands are a vast stretch laid to waste in the future by violent uphevals of the earth. This series is set in a luddite ruled world, where the use of technology must be hidden from the hoardes, who see it as a form of religious evil which must be destroyed.. and any who are tainted by it must also be destroyed. Sounds so contemporary, doesnt it?
