This Deathlands novel is like night to day from the last one. Where the last title BREAKTHROUGH was fresh and original, this new one can't be anymore different. The storyline is so lame and boring with so many flaws, its the most painfully to read that I wished the company would rescind this novel completely - as if it never was written! This is not a good way to introduce your new "look" much less give us hardcore fans this half-baked story. There are too many deathlands fans and ex-fans clamoring to make this series end it seems, but I know there are too many talented writers out there that can keep this series alive and vibrant, and take it to its rightful next level. It even seems that the cover artist Michael Herring also hated the story because this cover was boring and not as well drawn as his others. Its as if the artist "felt" what we are feeling in his art. Please Gold Eagle publishers and editors, don't let this wonderful series go in this direction again!

That is where all the good things about these book ends. It is just a [replay] of better deathlands books that had the same plot. If I had to think of a witty visual aid it would be like starting a book with a perfectly good horse. At around page 50 someone kills the horse and then drags it along for another 200 pages.

As a diehard Deathlands fan I'm more than disappointed with this book. It's very poorly written. I hope they never use this ghost writer again.

The elements once again threaten the group, then comes the hman factor. The action in this book happens rather briskly and is occupied by some deep conspiracy. Still a good book overall.
