The Crystals Of Mida: Sharon Green

Book I of Jalav, Amazon Warrior. The once high-tech civilisation has fallen, overrun by primitive barbarism - walled cities, warring tribes and savage chieftains. None are as fierce as the mythic Midanna Amazons - and none so wild as Jalav, war leader of the fearsome Hosta clan, part of the female warrior nation called Midanna. When the Crystals of Mida which the Hosta are guarding are stolen, Jalav takes most of her warriors and chases after the thieves. The chase leads to the land ruled by men, and finally brings everyone, warriors and males alike, a very unsettling message.
