Product Description
At Spearpoint, the ultimate redoubt housing a valuable cache of predark technology, two opposing wills clash. Levi Shabazz intends to carve his own empire out of the vast wastelands, but the Trader intends to thwart him and end his bloody siege of power. It all comes to a head at Virtue Lake, a hard lesson for Trader and a grim rite of passage for Ryan Cawdor. Fir the first time--a feature on the birth of the Deathlands series.

4.0 out of 5 stars The trader is back and kickin butt!, July 28, 1999
By A Customer
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!

4.0 out of 5 stars This was an interesting tell all book., March 20, 1999
By A Customer
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.

2.0 out of 5 stars Much ado about nothing., March 18, 1999
By F. R. Lewis "Amateur Critic" (Bronx, New York, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
We the loyal fans of the Deathlands saga, were let down. The story was only about 200 pages, the story was rushed. Axler or whomever should read their books.

The way we know the trader, was not the way he was depicted in this story. Where was his infamous quotes, none were present in this story. Plus he gets poisoned, just like a "rube." The story should have been 348 pages then do the history of Deathlands and Outlanders.

I enjoyed the extras, but the story was bad. they fit everything into 348 pages. So we the loyal and diehard fans of this series were sold a bill of goods.

James Axler and Gold Eagle books owe us an apology for this abbreviated story, this poor excuse of a "special, collector's edition book"

How can you do this to us?

This is the first in what I hope is a series about Trader and Ryan before Ryan met Krysty et all. The writing is a little below par, but the story is interesting enough. Read more
