Time Nomads

Deathlands #11

by James Axler

In the blasted heart of the new America, Ryan Cawdor and his band of warrior-survivalists search for hidden caches of food, weapons and technology--the legacy of a pre-holocaust society--stashed in lonely outposts known as redoubts.

When Ryan ingests bacteria-infested food, he lies near death--his body paralyzed but his mind traveling rapidly back to his early days in the Deathlands...moving through the southwest on post-nuke vehicles called warwags...and his run-in with the Baron.

Towse, near what was once Albuquerque, is a ville in a freakishly beautiful landscape populated by scabbies and armed Apaches. Baron Alias Carson and his bejeweled wife, Sharona, welcome Ryan, J.B. Dix and the Tracker to their treacherous world.

In the Deathlands the past is a dream. The future is a nightmare.

Another chapter, though this one changed the formula some. The bulk of the story was in the comatose dreams and/or memories of Ryan. It reads like his history with the Trader and the Warwags, though at times it seems like his half-conscious self is instilling bits and pieces into the memory. Either way, it was pretty interesting. The ending altered the formula as well since they didn't escape through the transit, but instead the redoubt explodes and they are in the middle of who knows where. Look forward to the next chapter.

I have always enjoyed the Deathlands and Outlanders series. Now that Harlequin books no longer uses the Gold Eagle imprint, I have hope that the original author of the series Mark Ellis gets his material back.

These books are pure men's fantasy, so just smack the crap out of the "I Believe" button and enjoy the read. While this is a long series, you can start with any book for the most part as each is a stand alone adventure. One of the things I like about this series is the fact that the MC unlike other men's fantasy series does not screw everything he can. No Captain Kirk here.

Great read with a look into Ryans past, how he met Trader, and what he went through in some of his time with Trader. Also a look into the life of the women who is Dean's mother.

I listened to the GraphicAudio version. The audio was awesome - full cast, music, background sounds. Like those old time radio shows. Really excellent sound production.

The story itself was bad fiction. But I kept going back to it because I couldn't get enough of the cliches and rowdy sex scenes. Like my man said - it's like cornnuts. You know you shouldn't eat them, they are bad for you. But you do it anyway.

An average apocalyptic adventure story. This one takes a century after the last war and now there are mutants running around the earth. Recommended
