The global apocalypse of 2001 did not destroy the world only a way of life. Now, three generations after the blast, the indomitable human spirit struggles against the devastation and hopelessness. For one band of survivors, hope lies in hidden gateways, portals to uncertain places of salvation or doom. The Amazon Basin remains a land of primordial beauty and primitive people. Ryan Cawdor and his band of warrior survivalists emerge from a gateway into an abandoned U.S, military complex, now a native shrine to the white gods of pre-blast days. Here the group is given royal treatment, only to discover that privilege has a blood price. In the Deathlands, you're always too far from home....

I really have grown to love this book series and the characters, but this book, while still being good, did not quite come up to par with the rest of the series (which does not mean you should not read it). It felt sort of aimless at parts, with random encounters that did not really drive along the plot, but the final chapters were making up in tension again.
Overall, good shallow entertainment with a few dry spots.
