One of the latter is Pelbar—proud, civilized, and intolerant of change and new ideas. Rebels and troublemakers are sentenced to a year of exile at the massive midwestern fortress of Northwall, defending Pelbar against the fierce Shumai and Sentani tribes. Restless and brilliant Jestak is a visionary who has seen and learned too much in his distant travels to be content with life in Pelbarigan. During his exile at Northwall, he makes contact with Pelbar’s age-old enemies and risks all to rescue his beloved Tia from nomads armed with long-lost weapons from before the atomic holocaust. Jestak’s daring quest for love brings profound changes to his world.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eThe Breaking of Northwall\u003c\/i\u003e is the first in a series of seven classic postapocalyptic novels about the Pelbar people.
