«The Folk of the Fringe» is a collection of science fiction stories by Orson Scott Card, published by Orbit in hardcover (301 pages, in English).
After a Third World War in which six missiles sufficed to devastate North America, these stories follow survivors trying to rebuild civilization. Some communities preserve faith and law; the misfits embark on a dangerous journey to the Rocky Mountains, where a refuge of peace and prosperity awaits. But even there, some live on the margins.
For fans of post-apocalyptic science fiction and fantasy stories.
