An interesting book this. It’s basically a post-apocalyptic story with elements of dystopian science fiction, fantasy and even western fiction. Remember the real-time strategy game Krush, Kill ‘n Destroy from the 90s? Well, if you cross that with Dances With Wolves you’re halfway to understanding the feel of this story.

My first review. Not wanting it to be wasted on whatever book I happen to be reading at the moment, I have decided to review Cloud Warrior, book 1 of the AMTRAK Wars. I read this (quickly followed by the rest of the series) when I was about 12 years old. I was already an avid reader and had a great and growing appreciation for fiction. I’d read fantasy (such as the original Shannara trilogy by T. Brooks), I’d read Sci-Fi, (such as the Dorsai books by Gordon Dickson, and several Asimov books).

i stumbled into this series quite by accident. I was browsing the wonderful Coa's Used Books in Las Cruces while on vacation when the cover of First Family caught my eye with its armored train. Since that is the second book in the series I put it down and bought Cloud Warrior instead. Its cover was intriguing as well with a pair of Native Americans fighting a pair of guys in space suits.

I first read this book in the 1980's so I thought I would see if I still felt the same about it. I am pleased to say I loved it just as much this time around. Patrick Tilley world building is so well done, he doesn't need to go over board with his descriptions to build a vision of what earth is like. I love the use of all the old world names through out the entire story. I look forward to seeing where the mental a physical connection between Steve and his sister leads.

AD 2989. Nine hundred and seventy-four years ago, the Old Time ended in the War of a Thousand Suns. The cities of the United States were seared from the face of the Earth in a nuclear holocaust unleashed by the evil 'Mutes', malformed immigrants whose only desire was to destroy all that was beautiful and good about this great country. Or at least, that's what the historical databanks of the super-computer COLUMBUS say, anyway.

I first started this series 15 years ago. I was borrowing the copies from my boyfriend at the time, at whose recommendation I was reading it. I made it to the third book. Then we broke up. Nine years ago, I bought the set, off Amazon, I believe, and attempted to restart it. According to a bar receipt I found inside, I made it 15 pages while sipping two martinis in Dels Saloon in West LA before I drunkenly rear ended someone on my home. And so began my downward spiral, my mental breakdown. I didn..more

At first it took me a little while to get into Cloud Warrior, only because I had been on a character-driven, general-fiction spree and hadn't buried my nose in hardcore science fiction for a long time. But when I got into it again, I was buried deep! I suddenly remembered why I loved sci-fi so much.

The Amtrak wars is quite an epic series that spans 6 books. I read this as a teenager and found myself drawn in to it. There were many elements but I think it was the romantic elements of the characters and the adventures contained within that lured me to the series more than the overall philosophy behind the series. It grabbed my attention during a time in my life when I was quite the rebellious teenager and I think that if I read it later in life I would not have enjoyed it as much as I did. U..more

A bit of a guilty pleasure read for me. I first read this series in my teens, and it still holds up well. As someone not from North America, I found the southern/mid-west setting fresh, and the Tracker society believable.
Not sophisticated sci-fi/fantasy; however, it's largely free of cliches and well-paced without being all action. My only compliant is length - it's short, and feels like it has ended just to serialize the story and string out the number of books.

I first read this series almost 30 years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it then. It's good to get reacquainted with old familiar characters once more and rediscover their world.
This post-apocalyptic series is a must-read for any sci-fi or fantasy fan. I'm extremely surprised that someone of the ilk of James Cameron, or even Peter Jackson hasn't made this into a movie. It would definitely be a box office smash hit it they did.

A fun romp in a post nuke world. 3.5 stars.
The success of Cloud Warrior, and the rest of The Amtrak Wars for that matter, is down to a couple of things. Firstly, there is Tilley’s exquisite attention to detail when it comes to world-building. The Federation and the Mute’s separate societies have been created in such a way that their mutual hostility makes perfect sense. The enmity shared by both sides perfectly mirrors the historical bad-blood that existed between the Native American population and the settlers back in the Old West.

After the first few chapters I thought I was in for one epic story about a post Apocalyptic world where humans and Mutes battle each other to survive (for reasons that I honestly still don't understand, or were never made clear). It starts off promisingly, with ace pilot Steve Brickman flying his final tests before graduation as the Mutes live their lives on the surface and fight amongst themselves.

I'm kind of so-so on this book. Don't get me wrong, I liked certain aspects of it, but I'm a little miffed that the story hardly began in this book and things were just starting to finally pick up near the end! Most of Cloud Warrior were plants, and nothing seriously got resolved. Sure, people died, people lived, Steve escapes, Cadillac gets more understanding, and Clearwater finally starts to get some feeling in her nether-regions. Whoop de doo.

Pretty hard core science fiction this series :-) based on a post nuclear world, where half the planet's population lives below ground and has infinite technological resources, but are controlled by the first family (all Jeffersons/Washingtons) - all but the first family have had some sort of mental conditioning to follow orders. The other half live above ground and have resistance to radiation (or do they - is the radiation story a farce to keep the other half underground. oooh time will tell)..more

It concerns a post-apocalyptic society that includes primitive mutants tribes with special powers; a high-tech, total discipline miliary society (that lives underground and travels overground in huge mobile trains and fragile glider planes) bent on exterminating the mutes, and a traditional samurai-based Japanese culture that believes higher tech (electricity, etc.) is evil but who otherwise have steam engines and rifles, etc. (and use mutes and feds as cheap labor).

The four stars is for the series as a whole. I have been reading these back to back and I don't think the books stand alone, each of which I would not give more than a three as a novel. Each one carries on immediately from the previous one. I wouldn't recommend reading this without having the others to follow on with.

A not particularly sophisticated post apocalyptic story that plays on common prejudices and is trying a bit too hard to make the point that racism and bigotry are wrong. For all that, it is entertaining and easy to read, and the quirks are worth reading the next book in the series to see what point Tilley is going to lead to. It is also really interesting to read a futuristic novel set 800 years in the future that doesn't have some version of an internet in it.
i probably would give 3.5 stars if i could. it's definitely good enough for me to want to continue with the second book.
the romantic angle - seriously? love at first sight? - felt very forced.
a of questions popped into my head -they would definitely be counted as spoilers if i stated the actual question asked regarding the reasons for certain plot devices occurring - so i'll just say there were some other weak bits. but i will most certainly keep going in the series

America, 1000 years after World War 3. Two young bucks from the warring descendents of the bunker survivors and the radiation-mutated surface dwellers meet up. Initially hostile, they start to see a few things from the other side's point of view. But, alas, there is a prophecy involving the two cultures and (shock!) the young bucks (and the girl they both love) are central to it. I wasn't terribly impressed with this. Readable, but nothing new here. Rated M for violence. 2/5

I kept this book, and alternated it with a few others, in the cargo pocket of my army fatigues through highschool. I still have that ratty first edition paperback and take it out to reread from time to time. Would I recommend it to a serious adult reader? Maybe not, but as a teenage boy, I loved it.
