The trader is back and kickin butt!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Encounter (Deathlands) (Mass Market Paperback)
I think this was a very good read. I have read deathlands since its conception back in '86 so I consider myself a fan who knows what he is talking about. Now don't get me wrong, this isn't the best ever written, but it is written very well indeed! Ryan is a young whipper snapper and full of himself, this writer is showing you his brash youth, a different ryan but Ryan all the same. This ghost writer in my estimation gave the Deathlands readers and full-blown action/adventure read. It is even better than some of the old master blaster writer himself - Mr. Laurence James, a.k.a. James Axler! Whoops, did I ruin anything for you readers? Don't worry, this series needs new blood writers anyway and it seems to me - there getting some d*** good action writers for the most part! I was getting kind of sick and tired of seeing Ryan and Co. getting food and shelter all of the time. The bare knuckles survival feel of the books was starting to slip away there for awhile. This book at least gives you Trader at his finest and gives you some long-awaited answers, mixed with sex and violence! Now thats Deathlands to me folks!

This was an interesting tell all book.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Encounter (Deathlands) (Mass Market Paperback)
I thought this book was as good as any other Deathlands book. I enjoyed reading about Ryan and J.B. in the early years. I was really surprised about Doc being in the book. But it answered the question about why Doc always carries those two balls with him. It also explains how Trader received his rad poisoning. For anyone that read Pilgramage From Hell they would now know what happened with Trader. I have read every book by James Axler and there has not been one book I've been disappointed with. The only disappointment with this book was it being to short of a story. I hope to read more books on the Trader in the future.

Almost but not quite...,
By fixer187@hotmail.com (Oxford, Ohio) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Encounter (Deathlands) (Mass Market Paperback)
I'm a long time reader of the Deathlands series and, as stated by others, this book falls a little short. I'd love to see a series of Ryan and Trader and the back story of how they met and what Ryan did to earn has mentor's respect. Not a best effort but a good foundation for something bigger and better.
