Swan Song by Robert McCammon - Classic Edition

Winner of the 1988 Bram Stoker Award for Best Novel, Swan Song is Robert McCammon’s gripping post-apocalyptic novel that weaves a tale of survival, hope, and the battle between good and evil.

Set in a world devastated by nuclear war, the story follows a diverse cast of characters as they navigate the treacherous landscape of a ruined America, fighting for their lives and the future of humanity.

Among these survivors are Sister Creep, who stumbles upon a mysterious and transformative glass relic amidst the ruins of Manhattan; Joshua Hutchins, a former wrestler seeking refuge from the radioactive fallout in a remote Nebraska gas station; and Swan, a young girl blessed with extraordinary powers, whose journey with Joshua leads them to a Missouri town where restoration and hope might begin through her gifts.

Yet, the ancient malevolent force responsible for the world’s devastation is on a relentless quest to recruit the wounded for its dark army. In this desolate landscape teeming with grotesque beasts and pillaging armies, the last vestiges of humanity are drawn into a cataclysmic struggle between good and evil—one that will seal the fate of humankind.

First published in June 1987, Swan Song was the first novel of Robert McCammon’s to appear on the New York Times best-seller list. Critics praised its pace and prose, with Publishers Weekly calling it “broad and compelling… a long, satisfying look at hell and salvation,” while Rave Reviews praised the novel as “distinctive and engrossing…you’ll wish there were more of Swan Song.”

In his chilling vision of a post-apocalyptic world, Robert McCammon masterfully constructs a compelling tale that captures the catastrophic impact of nuclear conflict, the ensuing terror, and the fragile hope for humanity’s redemption.
