Product Description

When all is lost, there's always the future. But the future in a world shrouded in the radioactive red dust clouds of a generation-old global nuclear war depends on finding hidden caches of food, weapons and technology--the legacy of a preholocaust society--stashed in lonely outposts known as redoubts. When Ryan Cawdor discovers a redoubt in the bitter freakish wasteland that now passes for Alaska, he also uncovers a new threat to a slowly reemerging America. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

From AudioFile

What if the world reverted to a primitive state, with just enough leftover high-tech hardware to make the shoot-em-ups sizzle? That's the premise in the Deathlands series, in which Ryan Cawdor and his band of misfits "jump" in a sort of Star Trek-transporter way from spot to irradiated spot in a U.S. decimated by the Third World War--which was lost by every country on earth 100 years earlier. Having read at least a dozen books in this series, I wasn't sure I could get into an abridgment but was pleasantly surprised. McCallister reads with authority, and the pace feels just right--I actually picked up details I'd missed in my own first reading. For anyone who likes the after-the-end-of-the-world-then-what? genre, this series is a must. M.C.

4.0 out of 5 stars Old enemies reunite, April 3, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Red Holocaust (Deathlands, No 2) (Mass Market Paperback)

Red Holocaust is the second book in the Deathlands Saga. TheRed threat is brought back to North America. Not since skydark haveRussians come to America in search of conquest. This book brings another new and interesting aspect of the Deathlands. It might be hard to find, but if you do it will be worth it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Bad. Real, real bad., December 16, 2000

By A Customer

My wife and I have very different taste in books and we have read thousands of books of all kinds.

We agree however, that this is clearly the worst book either of us has ever read. We still make fun of it 5 years later!

Simply terrible.
