This review is from: Pilgrimage To Hell (Deathlands Series) (Mass Market Paperback)

this is number one in the deathlands series, which is still going strong at number 60. Within this book is were all the main characters are brought to life for the first time. although this book was actually written by two different authors i think that once you pick this book you will be wanting to read the second book before midnight!!!! All in all this is pure sc fi adventure

One of the better books I have read this year, Pilgrimage to Hell is a great novel for anyone into post-nuclear holocaust fiction. For anyone who has played the PC roleplaying games Fallout and/or Fallout 2, this is basically like 'reading' the game. Great stuff. The ending was a little weak, but made me want to go out and pick up the second book in the series, which is a good thing. I was reading this book whenever I could fit in time after work, I highly recommend it.

The first in a long line of Deathlands books. You will notice I do not call them novles because while they are enjoyable they hardly qualify as "War and Peace". Here for the first time we meet Ryan Cawdor, basically a one eyed crazy man frontman for a firm(but fair) warlord named "The Trader". We are also introduced to J.B Dix, Kysty, Do , Hun and many others. The author manages to paint a very vivid picture of a world affected by Nuclear War and this book has (by far) the best plot and charecter development of any other in the serise.

Overall-If you liked William W. Johnstone you will like this book.
