The Steel, the Mist, and the Blazing Sun is a novel by Christopher Anvil published in 1980.
The Steel, the Mist, and the Blazing Sun is a novel set in the 21st Century where both the United States and the Soviet Union have been destroyed in another World War.
Greg Costikyan reviewed The Steel, the Mist, and the Blazing Sun in Ares Magazine #5 and commented that "The novel is readable and a suitable way to kill a few hours, but the premise is not terribly original, the writing not terribly interesting, the plot not terribly gripping... One wonders why Anvil tries."[1]
