"A Gift Upon the Shore" is a 1990 novel by M. K. Wren which trades in some of the familiar post-apocalyptic themes, including, eventually, a fundamentalist cult gone mad.

Plot introduction

One of its most endearing aspects is its devotion to literature, as one protagonist works tirelessly to protect classic books, even in the face of a zealot's nearly murderous opposition.
