This article currently has a number of inadequacies, starting with whether the book is even really "science fiction" at all in any meaningful sense; will be trying to fix it up. AnonMoos (talk) 14:45, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
- There's no real future science which is a part of New Cretan society, but there is "magic", which in Venn-Thomas' experience definitely does sometimes work (though there's no really spectacular manifestation of magic until the whirlwhind at the very end...).

[edit] Post-apocalyptic?
Not sure whether to classify this as post-apocalyptic literature or not -- some kind of future war fought with advanced technologies with devastating effects on some parts of the world did take place, but technological civilization didn't collapse as a result of this war; it went on for a fairly long time afterwards before vanishing amidst general malaise and lack of confidence.

[edit] U.S. title
The edition of the book that I have is titled "Watch the Northwind [one word] Rise" -- AnonMoos (talk) 19:45, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
