The dark frontier of the twenty-second century is lawless and oppressive, but humanity is slowly beginning to carve out new beginnings in the midst of this brutal, nuke-altered world. In pockets of civilization called villes, peace and hope start to flourish. But law and order invite what's evil and corrupt....
Ryan Cawdor and his band of warrior survivalists are guests of a powerful Tennessee baroness and her mysterious adviser at her ville on what was once the mighty Mississippi. Beautiful and alluring, the venomous baroness will do anything to secure her future line.
In the Deathlands, when hope is not enough, the laws of survival are called into play.
I have read all of the Outlanders books and I’m this far through Deathlands… This is, by far, the most humorous book so far. I’ve laughed out lots so many times.
I enjoyed listening to that book, but I could not help to notice that (as in some previous books) the author sometimes lets his characters commit stupid mistakes so that they follow down the line of action.
Another rather annoying point throughout the series is the groups unwillingness to even bring small provisions with them, which seems just stupid at times.
