As the twenty-second century emerges from the blight of nuclear damnation, humanity is slowly coming to terms with the bizarre new world of Deathlands, where each new generation holds the promise of renewel and redemption - in men like Ryan Cawdor and his son, Dean.
HOME SWEET HELL
Ryan Cawdor and companions emerge from a gateway into the ravaged world of the Rockies. It's old hunting grounds for Ryan and the Titian-haired Krysty Wroth -her home, and the place where they first came together. Here Ryan has an unsettling choice to make, and Krysty a debt to pay. But her Mother Sonja may be long gone, and the past becomes a trap as they press toward Harmony, a marauding gang hard on their trail.
Hope died in the Deathlands, but the will to live goes on.
Kind of a letdown - this is one of those books where you can almost feel the gears slowing down to set up more books later on. Nothing happens in Harmony, a character makes ominous statements, Dean gets left at a school to ostensibly be picked up at some unknown point in the future ... definitely makes for a good marathon, but it makes the highlights along this leg of the trip disappoint a little.
Seriously, did the authors have any contact at all with the first 29 installments??? Going to Harmonyville, Christy's hometown...to see her Uncle Titus McCann, who DIED in the first episode??? To maybe see her mother, who it was told was DEAD in the first episode??
