The Fearance (The Meskitoe Trilogy) (Volume 2) Rob Badcock

It is the year 2043. A space shuttle crash-lands on Tycho, the clone planet of Mother Earth. Rib Meskitoe - one of the few survivors of Watershed - steps out to start a new life in the frontier town of Stonyville, where cowpokes and cowgirls work hard and play hard, all under the stern stewardship of Marshall Amps. Life on Tycho is strictly low-tech, on account of the mysterious force which scrambles all man-made technology - The Fearance. Closely observed by two giant ravens, Rib becomes sucked into a quest for the Fearance, to an alien land of ice and fire, a violent world of berserks and blood feuds, a Viking hell from which he has to escape... A high-protein tale plotting the surreal adventures of a fifteen-year-old, The Fearance is book two of the Meskitoe trilogy.
