The Helios Legacy  (English, Paperback, MacDee Mike)

It was supposed to be a simple escort mission...Two days on a train, trade the boy for a case of rations, then two days back home. Simple. But somehow nuclear winter has never been harder for Juno Radcliffe - ex-guerrilla and war hero, demoted to babysitter as she escorts a young boy across the wasteland. Stranded on the icy tundra and pursued by assassins, she has her work cut out for her; and at the end of the trail is a dreaded reunion with the lover she spurned years ago.Enter Midgard, a nuclear winter dystopia ruled by a fascist matriarchy, where men are stored and treated like cattle, and several madwomen fight for supreme dominance. At the center of their power struggle is a young boy who misses his father, and an ex-commando searching for her last chance at redemption.
