James Axler (Author)

Book Description

Series: Deathlands | Publication Date: March 1, 1999

On the morning of January 20, 2001 the climax of the Cold War set the post-apocalyptic stage for the series. The end game began with a pre-emptive strike on Washington. Underground nuclear bombs were detonated from within the basement of the Soviet embassy, by an elite group of Spetsnaz operatives, destroying the central command structure and political system of the United States. For a indefinite period of time a nuclear exchange between the United States and the Soviet Union devastated both countries and subsequently the entire planet (but little details are known outside both countries). All manner of genetic contagions were released infecting the survivors of the firestorm with horrible illnesses. The remaining survivors lived harshly during a time of prolonged nuclear winter known as 'Sky Dark'. The geography, climate, and ecosystems of the world had changed dramatically. What was left of the United States came to be known as the Deathlands

THIS AGAIN IS ANOTHER GREAT TALE I WAS ABLE TO PROCURE THROUGH AMAZON.COM. THE STORY STARTS WITH THE GROUPS ESCAPE FROM Newyork AND BRINGS THEM TO A REDOUBT HIDDEN IN FLORIDA'S GREENGLADES AMUSEMENT PARK. THEY FIND THAT THE PARK HAS BEEN RESTORED BY BOSS BARON LARRY ZEPP, A FOE FROM RYAN AND J.B. DIX'S DAYS WITH THE TRADER. THEIR MAIN ADVERSARY IN THE STORY IS ADAM TRAVEN, A CHARLIE MANSON TYPE DRUG DEALER WHO CONTROLS ZEPP WITH A DRUG CALLED DREEM.THE PART I REALLY ENJOY IN THE BOOK IS THE FACT THAT THE ARMORY IN THE REDOUBT IS STOCKED AND IT'S WHERE THEY FIRST COME ACROSS SOME OF THEIR SIGNATURE WEAPONS, NAMELEY RYAN 'S STEYR RIFLE AND J.B.'S SMITH AND WESSON M-4OOO. ANOTHER CLASSIC!
