I remember reading it when it came out in 1987. With regard to its place in the urban fantasy movement, it was an early book, but not the first. Charles de Lint's Moonheart came out in 1984 and it marked his transition from traditional fantasy to his early efforts at urban fantasy. In 1985 his urban fantasy/horror book, Mulengro came out. He is widely accepted as the author who has popularized this subgenre of fantasy and his urban fantasy writing is at its best in his series of books, novellas, and short stories set in his imaginary town of Newford. Some would argue that John Crowly was the originator of the urban fantasy movement with his book Little, Big, which came out in 1981. This book covered generations of a family from the turn of the 20th century into a dystopian future. I'm a huge de Lint fan (he's my favorite author) and it was because of my enjoyment of his work that I picked up War for the Oaks when it came out. I look forward to your episode on Quantum Leap. I'll be thinking of Joe Murphy, a huge fan of the series, while you discuss it. I was glad to see you were going to talk about War for the Oaks. I remember reading it when it came out in 1987.

However, I think my roommate, who has very few books (thanks to theft and multiple moves) but loves to read would adore it. I think I'll get her this for X-Mas too (I'm already getting her the first volume of Tanya Huff's Blood books). This sounds interesting, but I doubt I’ll be reading it myself.
