5.0 out of 5 stars Axlerverse IQ notched up with Iceblood, July 8, 2006

This review is from: Aftermath: The Mars Arena\Iceblood (Paperback)

Almost eight years after I read it, I still remember how surprised I was by "Iceblood" and all the revelations about the Archons and the Chintamani Stone. Balam, who up to that point, had been not much more than a puppet who made the same threatening speech over and over suddenly became a real, three-dimensional sympathetic character.

The villain Zakat was truly repulsive, with almost no redeeming traits. I loved the scenes set in the Museum of Natural History.

Overall, I think the IQ of the Outlanders series went up a couple of notches with this book and stayed there. The entire novel was rich, dramatic, full of deep characterization and even humor.

5.0 out of 5 stars Twin Classics!!, March 28, 2006

These two novels, set a hundred years apart in timeline, are two great adventure reads. Deathlands is the better one in this go-around though. Because it was written by the illustrious Mel Odom.

These were the good 'ol days before half-baked authors like Andy Boot and Edo van Belkom started ruining the Deathlands series.

These were two top-notch stories ever written of both series. Especially the Deathlands one! Written by the illustrious Mel Odom, Mars arena delivers on so many levels. A true post-holocaust classic.
