The "devastatingly powerful" first novel in the acclaimed classic science fiction series The Holdfast Chronicles, from the award-winning author (The Washington Post).

Winner of the James Tiptree, Jr. Award

Walk to the End of the World begins Suzy McKee Charnas's incomparable epic tale of men and women, slavery and freedom, power and human frailty.

In a post-apocalyptic world, Alldera the Messenger is a slave among the Fems, in thrall to men whose own power is waning, until she escapes and is saved by a tribe of women whose strength and courage sustain her. Walk to the End of the World is old-school feminist science fiction at its most prophetic.

"Only one science fiction book in hundreds manages to convince the reader that it ever could have happened anywhere, and at least that few are worth reading at all. [Charnas has] created a future that is once believable and fascinating" -- William S. Burroughs, author of Naked Lunch

"One of the best books I've read this year." -- Dorothy Allison, New York Times-bestselling author of Bastard Out of Carolina
