I have the above edition (borrowed it from a friend who moved to St Croix several years ago), but am afraid to read it (or attempt to scan it) as it would probably crack the spine.

I read it as a teenager but would like to read it again.

It's available for 'borrowing' on archive.org (read in browser) but not sure I can handle reading it that way.
I want to say this was available either as Star Man's Son or as part of one of those Baen collections. But my memories may be mistaken.

Yes, here you go: Darkness and Dawn. It's a collection of Star Man's Son (Daybreak: 2250 AD) and No Night Without Stars.,

Quote:
Centuries after the civilized world destroyed itself in a dimly-remembered final war, a few rebels courageously searched through the shattered cities/ trying to regain old knowledge.

One was Fors-driven from his clan for the crime of being a mutant. Though his people had long searched the remnants of the old world to regain the knowledge and skills of their ancestors, the land to the north was forbidden. Having nothing to lose, Pars and his feline companion set out to the north, little realizing what a staggering discovery they would make.

Elsewhere/ Sander also searched-for the Before People who were said to have survived the great devastation. Then he encountered Fanyl, engaged in her own quest for the knowledge of the Before People. And soon they would find themselves threatened by an ancient evil which destroyed not just lives, but minds as well....

Publisher's Note: Darkness and Dawn has been previously published in parts as Star Man's Son and No Night Without Stars. This is their first combined publication.
Baen may be getting too cute with the titles of these collections. It might be costing them sales.
