AFTER OBLIVION

At the heart of the strange new post-nuclear world known as Deathlands lie the mysteries of pre-dark society - secrets that may hold the key to a future of peace... or peril. Armed with rare knowledge of top secret twenty-first-century technology, Ryan Cawdor and his band of warrior survivalists traverse the new America, seeking to claim something beyond the grim reality of Deathlands.

SEEK OR DIE

In the radiation-blasted heart of the northwest, Ryan and his companions form a tenuous alliance with a society of women warriors in what may be the stunning culmination of their quest. After years of searching, they have found the gateway to the pre-dark cabal of the Illuminated Ones - and perhaps their one chance to reclaim the future from the jaws of madness. But to seize tomorrow, they must confront its deadly guardians: what is left of the constitutional Government of the United States of America.

the start of a 2 part Amazon Gate finds Ryan and company joining forces with a band of warrior women when the jump leaves Jak feeling disoriented and jumpy after the trans mat dream showing him his friends all killed and him alone until the arrival of the Amazon Queen Gloria Jak does not want to stay in the redoubt they have jumped too. And when they find the Amazon women and join with them there is a little friction with Mildred and Margia over J.B. Margia wants the Armorer for a mate so sets about getting rid of Mildred....Amazon Gate part 1 is a blast on to part 2

I have not read one of James Axler's Death Lands books in several years. This was as good as any I have read, and I have read many of them. I will be reading more of them in the near future.
