Steve, Cadillac and Clearwater meet with triumph and disaster as they try to evade the clutches of both the Iron Masters and the disguised killer squads sent out by the Lone Star Confederation to purge the overground of renegade Trackers and deserters. Clearwater's earth-magic gets them out of several tight corners but the Iron Masters prove to be tenacious adversaries and the First Family - the sinister oligarchy who rule the Confederation - have no intention of loosening their grip on Steve Brickman. Despite his apparent treachery, he is a valuable pawn in a game which, if lost, could spell the end of the First Family's dream of reconquering the blue-sky world.

About the Author:
Review:
Patrick Tilley was born in Essex in 1928, but spent his formative years in the border counties of Northumbria and Cumbria. After studying art at King's College, University of Durham, he came to London in 1955 and rapidly established himself as one of Britain's leading graphic designers. He began writing part-time in 1959.
In 1968 he gave up design altogether in favour of a new career as a film scriptwriter. Work on several major British-based productions was followed by writing assignments in New York and Hollywood. His books have been translated into several languages, and have achieved cult-novel status.
One of the most compelling sf adventure series of the decade The ENCYCLOPEDIA of Science Fiction

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Hundreds of years after civilisation has been destroyed by nuclear war, the Earth is divided between the Trackers of the Amtrak Federation a community living in vast subterranean cities and the Mutes, who have evolved to withstand the radiation that has driven their foes underground. A long war for possession of the overground has killed and enslaved many of the Mutes, leaving only the Plainfolk to resist the Federation. And now the Iron Masters a powerful people living in the traditions of the Samurai have joined the war.Steve Brickman, a Tracker special agent, has travelled to the land of the mysterious Iron Masters in a bid to rescue his Mute friends, Clearwater and Cadillac. Here he has had to navigate the treacherous feudal politics of Ni-Issan. With the help of his psychic kin-sister Roz, the Federation and Clearwaters summoner magic, the three have just escaped, killing the head of Yama-Shita in the process.Under orders from the Amtrak Federation to betray his friends, Brickman must play a dangerous game in trying to appease both sides, for his loyalties are torn. Brickmans love for Clearwater and respect for Cadillac pull him away from the duty he owes his own home. Still fleeing and ruthlessly pursued by the Iron Masters seeking revenge, they must also avoid the aid of the Federation agents who would use Cadillac and Clearwater for their own ends.Blood River, first published in 1988, is the fourth instalment of Patrick Tilleys internationally best selling science fiction epic, The Amtrak Wars Saga. The epic narrative that began with Cloud Warrior continues to enfold. On the snow-swept overground Steve, Cadillac and Clearwater meet with triumph and disaster as they try and evade the clutches of both the Iron Masters and the First Family.
