Saint Leibowitz and the Wild Horse Woman
Saint Leibowitz and the Wild Horse Woman is the posthumously published sequel to Walter M. Miller Jr.’s masterpiece, A Canticle for Leibowitz. Partially completed by Terry Bisson after Miller's death, this novel revisits the post-apocalyptic world of its predecessor, unfolding eighty years after the second part of A Canticle for Leibowitz. With a focus on the restless monk, Brother Blacktooth St. George, the novel explores themes of identity, power, and faith amidst the ruins of North America. Readers are drawn into a tale of politics, personal discovery, and the perpetual struggle between the Church and the dominating Empire of Texarkana, providing a profound exploration of humanity’s quest for meaning and order in a broken world.
