Saint Leibowitz and the Wild Horse Woman

Saint Leibowitz and the Wild Horse Woman (1997) is the posthumously published sequel to A Canticle for Leibowitz, set roughly eighty years after the events of that novel's second section. The central character is Brother Blacktooth St. George, a monk at Leibowitz Abbey who speaks the Nomad tongue and serves as translator and eventual secretary to the politically ambitious Cardinal Brownpony. The novel follows Brownpony's complex scheme to unite the independent nations of post-apocalyptic North America against the Empire of Texarkana and restore authority to the exiled Papacy. Miller wrote the bulk of the manuscript before his death in January 1996; the concluding sections were completed by Terry Bisson working from Miller's notes and outlines. First British edition, published by Orbit, London, September 1997, preceding the American edition by two months.
