It's a little late for me to be writing a review on this book, this title came out in August 2000 and it is now Feburary 2001. But I had to, for this is one of my favorite fiction books. In other reviews I wrote that each Outlander book gets even better than the last, that may be true, but if I had to pick my favorite, it would be Armageddon Axis.

I like this book very much because I identify with the characters, It wasnt a quick read, I really felt what the characters were going through. I know this is fiction, but when I read this book, Im always filled with Nostalgia because I have firsthand similar experiences with what Lakesh, Brigid, and Dian went through. Anyone who has ever been in a perfect loving relationship that was meant to be and would have lasted but didnt due to the surroundings will relate to this book.

And besides that, it is action-filled and also the locations it takes place in are hauntingly chilling. Being in an extremly large and vast complex where everything has been run down and the only inhabitants are the people that had cyborg implants to survive 200 years and are insane, and walking down the corridors you feel as if someone is watching you... This novel was very good. And also it has a touch of humor in some places that adds to the excitment.

This is one the best books I have ever read and continues to be. For when I have nothing to read, I'll pick this book out and read it again. And it always has the same impact of when I first read it. I never grow tired of it.

Definately a must!!!

Armageddon Axis is a prime example of why Outlanders is the best adventure series available. This one not only features the return of the nasty dwarf genius, Sindri from an earlier book, but it showcases a severe blow struck by the heros against the barons. As always, Outlanders is fast-moving with sharply detailed characters and lots of interesting plot devices, such as the Aurora spy-plane.

Really solid story and characters. The SF element was bolstered considerably by the snippets of scientific principles concerning new modes of atmospheric flight via microwave lasers, and conformal contouring of new exotic shaped aircraft. As a propulsion physicist, I was pleased by what I saw.

This 11th entry in the Outlanders saga ranks up there as one of the best so far. It was great to go back to the Anthill again, it's even more eerie the second time around. This episode contains some great character interaction along with fascinating insight into Lakesh and his past as well as some intense action sequences. The downsides such as the abrupt ending and some pretty blatant typos early on failed to diminish my enjoyment of this book one iota. Highly Recommended!

This was a better read than the 1st book that Kane and Co. come across that dastardly troll dude that they met in PARRALLAX RED. This was abetter adventure story than that one though. The people who like this series should be pleased.

THIS BOOK IS JUST ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF WHY AXLER IS ONE OF THE BEST AT HIS CRAFT.THE RETURN TO THE ANTHILL FROM DEATHLANDS "STONEFACE",A GLIMPSE OF LAKESH BEFORE THE NUKECAUST AND THE RETURN OF THE DEVILISH SINDRI FROM OUTLANDERS "PARALLAX RED" MAKE THIS ONE HELL OF A READ.

It never ceases to Amaze me how book after book you are able to grab my attention and keep it from start to finish.

I am very impressed at how the whole feel of the series has changed, and the fact that the Outlander people are now starting to stage open rebellion against the hybrid barons.

It was also great to see what life was like in the anthill complex just after the war, and a peek into Lakesh's past. A few pages revealed a great deal about the man and his motives.

Keep up the excellent work!

In the time that I have been reading axler's series i have enjoyed most of them. This new series outlanders has been very thought provoking. In this latest installment he has shown us a side that he has not shown before. in and of the fact that lienage is dscussed more in depth. The characters of Cane, Grant, Domni and Bridgette are becoming more well rounded as the series progresses into the devious minds of the hybrids and the Archon directive.

The picture of the future is....wild! I laughed, I cried, I...well I didn't cry but the characters had such range...! I love the concept of The Anthill and the genetic mutates. A great read!

This is another great book in the series. They just keep getting better and better. I was glad that Sindri came back and the stuff about the Aurora plane was fascinating.
