After a relatively easy mat-trans jump, Ryan and his companions find themselves in the company of Dr. Silas Jamaisvous, a seemingly pleasant host who appears to understand the mat-trans systems extremely well. Seeing signs that local inhabitants have been used as guinea pigs for the scientist's ruthless experiments, the group realizes that they have to stop this line of research before it goes too far.

I, Tanner,

This review is from: Dark Emblem (Deathlands) (Mass Market Paperback)
Like the previous Deathlands title: "Homeward Bound" delved into details of Ryan Cawdor's life, "Dark Emblem" dives into the details of Doctor Theopolis Algeron Tanner in flashbacks. We learn the events that happened as Doc was time trawled forward from the 1860's to the year 1999 by the team of scientist for the Totality Concept. One scientist being Dr. Silas Jamaisvous. We learn about the torture that went through Doc Tanner's mind has he is thrusted into a world completely different than his own. Then taken from this new worlds and thrusted again into the future that is known as Deathlands. Dark Emblem answers many questions on why Doc is what he is. What the book lacks in action it makes up for in an explorative story of an integral main character.
5.0 out of 5 stars
As always, excellent reading,

I have read and own every one of James Axler's books (Deathlands, Earthblood, and Outlanders) and this one is no different: Great reading and I put it down only to sleep if I must.For the guy who's harking on the Glock with a safety...realize these are also fictional. :) Just picked up "Separation" today and am 1/4 into it already.

James Axler Is a decent write but needs some work,

This review is from: Dark Emblem (Deathlands) (Mass Market Paperback)
I've read about three or four novels in the Deathlands series now, and while his writing style is decent, I've found him lacking in his knowledge of Weapons. A Prime example of this would be that in a short scene in the Dark Emblem, Doc Tanner grabs a GLOCK handgun off of his unconcious captor, in the next scene, Doc is described as putting the gun down the front of his pants for safe keeping and makes sure the SAFETY is on. Glocks do not have a safety that can be turned on and off. Glock Firearms come equipped with a safety built into the Trigger, this is a totally unique design and is one reason of many reasons why the Glock is so popular. Also, The Sig-Sauer that Ryan Cawdor Uses, the 9MM with built in Baffled Silencer, doesn't exist. I feel if James Axler is going to use real life weapons in his book, he should think about doing some research on them.
