- Synopsis
- In Elegy Beach Steven R. Boyett returns with his long-awaited follow-up to the "monumental" (Janet Morris) and unforgettable post-apocalyptic fantasy Ariel. Thirty years ago the lights went out, the airplanes fell, the cars went still, the cities all went dark. The laws humanity had always known were replaced by new laws that could only be called magic. The world has Changed forever. Or has it? The older survivors yearn for the vanished time before the Change and its ensuing anarchy, but Fred feels no such nostalgia. He grew up in a fishing village off the California coast, playing in abandoned buildings and rusting supertankers, watching whale migrations and sea serpent matings from the cliffs. His generation scavenges all it needs from the remnants of its parents' civilization, and they're skeptical of the outlandish tales their embittered elders tell. Fred and his friend Yan set out to make their mark in this new world by learning the rules by which it operates: the science of magic. Their studies lead them to a means to reverse the Change--to restore the laws their parents knew. But Yan's reckless wielding of their newfound abilities, and his growing obsession with humanity's former powers, forces Fred to take a stand against his friend--and sets him on a journey in which the return of an extraordinary figure from his father's haunted past is inextricably bound with this world's future.
