I read the beginning of this book when I was very young, that I found in a public library in northern virginia. The novel was paperback, and it was about the size of All Quiet on The Western Front. It was a very interesting book with a sort of sci/fi twist to it, but it didint feel that science fictionish.
The setting was a postapocalyptic world where christians were scarce, satanism and athiesm was rampant, and the christians had to band together and take up weapons and fight them. It was very well written. It had alot of action in it, and it kept the reader interested. It may have been published in 1994, but I dont remember the title or the author. I can however, recall the beginning of the book.
a group of men get ready to raid a village. An athiest village, that they want to attack and occupy. The author makes them out to be like the last crusaders on Earth. The leader hands out 10 rifles to his best men and gives each of them one bullet. They ride down the hill on horseback to the village. A few men shoot their guns too early and waste the ammo, and the leader is exhasperated. They enter the village, and raid it. One of the raiders is named habbakuk, that stuck in my mind. There is suggestion of adult content. Then, a guy with a machine gun starts shooting at the attackers in the village from a forest nearby. The attackers go down one by one. The leader is left, and hes very surprised. He goes into a dialogue about how he used to hear the 'myths' of computers, machine guns, cars, airplanes, etc.
It was a very interesting book, and ide love to find out the name of it or who wrote it and read it again, this time all the way through. Some of those novels at the library are very underwritten, and go unrated. If this setting and opening chapter sounds familiar to anyone, ide really appreciate any help trying to find the author/title. Thanks.
