In the post-holocaust wastelands of 22nd-centry America, precious little remains of life before the nuclear blowout. Legends circulate of Redoubts, secret pre-Dark military bases with caches of food, medicine and, most important, weapons. Yet only a few of the ragged elite possess the arcane knowledge that enables them to locate and access these valuable storehouses.
ARMORED BEAST
In a hidden redoubt in Ohio, Ryan Cawdor and his band of warrior survivalists take possession of the ultimate Deathlands War Wag a crude but effective tank called Leviathan. But having this steel-plated behemoth is a double-edged sword when they fall into the trap of Lady Ward of Novaville, who wants Leviathan for her own means of destruction and domination.
I've acquired a stack of these books at 3-for-a-buck sales at the NYPL, back when they were doing that.
The first one* was kinda entertaining. The second one was pretty identical to the first. The third one was exactly like the other two.
Plot is extremely weak (as one can expect from a series where a book comes out monthly), the action ranges from pretty good to horrible, and in general it's just not very good, compared to any serious works.
3 for a buck is just about what I'd pay for the quality I get.
* it was a rather random selection from the series, I don't think I even bothered reading them in sequencial order. Whichever one was picked first was it. The entire stack has been trashed long since.
