Deathlands #105
Wretched Earth
INTEGRITY LOSTAfter the Megacull, the weak died off, so that a century later, the living have descended from only the toughest stock. Still, it takes more than strength to survive Deathlands. It takes skill, cunning and a warrior's heart. But for Ryan Cawdor, staying alive isn't just about living. In this nuke-transformed America, it helps if somewhere, deep inside, there's hope of finding something better.
WALKING DEAD
A virulent strain of a predark biowep has been unleashed upon the denizens of northern Kansas, turning them into rotting, flesh-eating monsters. Running from the mindless, soulless rottie hordes, Ryan and his companions arrive in the civil-war-torn ville of Sweetwater Junction. They've got one shot at beating the hungry rotties: turn the bloodlust of the ville's warring factions away from each other and toward a common enemy. But that means splitting up and hiring on as sec for both sides and surviving the firefight—before the real hell is unleashed.
In Deathlands, time is blood.

Okay, hear me out…! It’s so bad that it’s good, okay?
This is my return to the Deathlands that I started reading a couple decades ago. I don’t remember exactly how many I read, but I used to be a subscriber to Golden Eagle back in the day. I remember the Mack Bolan books, along with Phoenix Force, Deathlands, and more…
I wanted something quick to read that has pulpy elements, some gratuitous violence and action, and maybe some ass kicking women! Lol
So, not only does this book have all that, but it has zombies and a cult of Cthulhu!!! I think they pretty much wrote this book for me… Lol. An average day for me is reading something by HP Lovecraft and then daydreaming about zombies 🧟♂️ invading… 😂
It’s like a fun B movie and while pretty brainless it can be just what you need.

Didn't bother finishing. This was a weird one, zombies and cthulhu cultists... Straining what's credible, even for deathlands

A fun read as zombies invade Deathlands. One of the better entries in the last few years...

A post apocalypse zombie B-movie. The dialog sucks, there's gratuitous tits, and lots of heads explode.
I wouldn't base a thesis on it, but it was good fun.
