James Axler (Author)

Book Description

Series: Deathlands | Publication Date: September 1, 2004

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

1.0 out of 5 stars DEATH HUNT BORE-FEST!, September 22, 2004

This review is from: Death Hunt (Deathlands) (Mass Market Paperback)

Please don't waste your valuable time on this particular novel in this series. This author does not have the knack to do this series and it's characters justice.

Bland and boring adventure with stupid and irrational direction.

All the other 2 or 3 authors of this series are solid. But the last 3 books have been horrendously written by this one. It has been a grueling 9 months of reading hell.

Thank God the next one will have a new author. An author who has written solid action/adventure for over 2 decades. Let us hope that he can inject some much needed good storytelling in the next volume, titled - Shaking Earth.

Good title, at least...

This book continues the saga of the friends (minus Dean). It makes sense. While it's not loaded with tons of "mutant action," it is noteworthy in that it furter explores the dynamic between the members of the team. Does it also illustrate the genesis of one of the OUTLANDS settlements? Maybe.
