Armageddon Run

Endworld #7

by David Robbins

The battle-ravaged Alpha Triad, an elite fighting force dedicated to the restoration of civilization, traveled across the blasted landscape towards a fateful meeting. Accompanied by members of the Freedom Federation, Blade and his deadly team rolled into a small Wyoming town hoping to slaughter the Doktor in a final ambush. But the predators quickly became the prey when they were cut off and surrounded by a savage hoard of blood-thirsty half-humans. They were seven against an army and their epic battle would live on throughout the ages – if any of them survived to tell the tale.

As with all the previous books in this series, book seven picks up were #6 left off. This time, Blade and the Freedom Federation, are planning a final assault on The Doktor, the madman who is well over one hundred years old and a butcher with no conscience.

This book is weighed down at times with all the emotional, soap opera type baggage between lovers and couples. The action makes up for it, though. I might have got the nod to "The Magnificent Seven" if I thought about it, but the author cleared up his inspiration for this book in the dedication page. On to Denver, next.

Boken är i sig helt okej men den är inte lika spännande som flera av de tidigare varit. Det går också lite snabbt, Doktorn har ju varit ett hot som mestadels figurerat i bakgrunden, ett hot som jag som läsare trodde skulle finnas kvar länge. Men han tas av daga snöpligt snabbt och enkelt.
Lynx, kattmannen, är en spännande karaktär. Han är rätt hämndlysten och vill verkligen skada de som gjort honom illa, men samtidigt är han lojal mot de som varit goda mot honom. Han känns som en karaktär som inte är lika perfekt som de andra.

Betyg: 5/10

Another in the series that I didn't get to read when I was younger...

First, the bad... Early in the book, there is a discussion between Plato and Spartacus. Plato states that money is the root of all evil and he is glad that they no longer use money. Two paragraphs later, he tells Spartacus that capitalism was by far the best pre-war type of government. Ummmmm... Mr. Robbins, perhaps you should leave the moral and political discussions to actual thinkers.

Now, the good... This book is actually somewhat different than the others in the series so far. It is much more evenly paced, it starts en media res (which is a little off-putting at first because you don't expect it from the series - I had to check to make sure I hadn't skipped a book accidentally.), there is a good amount of characterization that doesn't seem forced, the climax doesn't take place two pages before the book ends, and it leaves an open ending that leads directly into the next book. While it still is not a work of literary genius by any means, it feels like a much stronger novel than those that came before it.

Another post-apocalyptic adventure series. Quick and easy read. Recommended
