The Imperator Wars #3
Purgatory Road (Outlanders #17)
GRIM FORBEARANCE
The fate of humanity remains ever uncertain, dictated by the obscure forces that have commandeered mankind's destiny for thousands of years. The plenipotentiaries of these ancient oppressors -- the nine barons who have controlled America in the two hundred years since the nukecaust -- are now falling prey to their own rabid desire for power. Their imposed doom is aided by a handful of intrepid men and women in a bitter fight to destroy the self-proclaimed new humans and deliver humanity from the yoke of interminable slavery . . .
FORBIDDING FORTUNE
In what once was the Pacific, the internecine baronial war rages on. Kane, Grant and Brigid wreak their own brand of destruction, inadvertently leading invading forces to the island of New Edo, a lost world that echoes the violent, honor-ruled ways of feudal Japan. Amidst this war within a war, a shocking new twist emerges in the blueprint to control the future. Kane and his companions will become victims of a mysterious power play by alien dictators unleashing their abominable plan to claim Earth.

Now this is what I call straight-forward fun reading! I could not put it down! I am addicted and am not ashamed to admit it!
The series is still the post-apocalypticca we are familiar with and there are so many things that are characteristic for the genre and somewhat cliche, but it has also grown into a world of its own and compels you to keep going, searching for answers and rooting for the protagonists. Some things drive me insane, but I think that is one of the reasons I keep coming back to the next book, hoping the little agitators get resolved and give me peace, but even when that happens, new issues take their place and leave me finishing the book unresolved, leaving me no choice but to buy the next installment and go on reading...
I loved this arc, hope things keep on going the same way.

Set in the same world as the Deathlands series. These books follow another set of adventures in the post holocaust world. Good men's adventures series. Recommended
