Hey Dakka. I got me a craving for a marathon reading session and around 15 or so years ago I read a series of Sci Fi books about a post apocalyptic world with a tribe of people living underground and another, more backwards tribe, living above ground. The under-earth dwellers had all the technology and the over-earth dwellers used some form of magic. I think there was a character called 'Cadillac' but that's about all I remember.... Any help in identifying these books would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers!

Google ftw. "Cadillac sci fi series"

Awesome, thanks pretre. My Google-fu let me down terminally there...

Anytime...

I've got the "Dark Visions" guide to the Amtrak wars artbook on my bookshelf.

I kept seeing "Mr Snow" as a Graham Greene type character.
(This one, not the british writer).


Specifically "Walter Crow-horse" from the Val Kilmer film "thunderheart". The wisecracking oldster.
