<b>NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE • “A moving experience . . . a powerful cautionary tale.”—Whitley Strieber</b><br><br>He was a survivor—a wanderer who traded tales for food and shelter in the dark and savage aftermath of a devastating war.  <br><br>Fate touches him one chill winter’s day when he borrows the jacket of a long-dead postal worker to protect himself from the cold. The old, worn uniform still has power as a symbol of hope, and with it he begins to weave his greatest tale, of a nation on the road to recovery.<br><br>This is the story of a lie that became the most powerful kind of truth.  A timeless novel as urgently compelling as <i>War Day</i> or <i>Alas, Babylon,</i> David Brin’s <i>The Postman</i> is the dramatically moving saga of a man who rekindled the spirit of America through the power of a dream, from a modern master of science fiction.<br><br><b>“<i>The Postman </i>will keep you engrossed until you’ve finished the last page.”—<i>Chicago Tribune</i></b>
