The protagonist of the novel is a man named Milo who is the war chief of the barbarian clans. Swords and bows are the weapons of choice now, and there seems to be no leftover technology of any kind. Six hundred years later mankind has a technology level somewhere near that of the early middle ages. We never really get the details of what happened, but apparently there was a short war, several plagues, and a falling apart of the goverment. This novel is set in a post apocalyptic America, in the year 2593. The version I read was the "Newly Expanded" 1982 paperback edition ISBN 2-6, which was purchased at a thrift store for 20 cents. It was first published in 1975, and was the first of a series of eight novels about the Horseclans. The Coming of the Horseclans is a book by Robert Adams.
