2.0 out of 5 stars Deathlands Meets Flipper, April 12, 2000

By	Mistrmind "mistrmind" (MA) - See all my reviews

In Deep Empire, Ryan and Co. jump to the Florida keys. There they discover Mark Tomwun, a scientist working at The Institute of Peaceful Oceanographic Research. The band of survilist soon discover that the work that Tomwun is doing is not all that peaceful. Tomwun is training dolphins to kill. Particularly pirates that have been threatening the Insistute. On top of the killer dolphins, and the threatening pirates, there is also the impending erruption of a volcano. All this ties together in a lackluster Deathlands story. There are some exploration in a plot B side story concerning Abe's search for the Trader, but only adds a teaser to the reunion of Ryan, JB, and the Trader later on in the series. The Abe/Trader side story almost seems like an after thought to try to beef up an anti-climatic story. I'd recommend this book only to a true fan of the Deathlands series, but to someone who is just beginging to read these fine books, I'd suggest passing on this adventure.
