Deathlands #44
Crucible of Time
DARK WINDOW
In the centuries after the nuclear devastation of America, life favors those who maintain their fighting edge in the lawless wastelands. In a nearly untouched remnant of California, a land of pines and roaring rivers, forgetfulness is tempting for a much-tried band of warrior survivalists. But Ryan Cawdor, son of an East Coast baron, knows that in the Deathlands even a tiny glimpse of heaven can be a portal to hell.
NEMESIS
An insular group of fanatics calling itself the Children of the Rock is leaving a trail of barbarism and a growing tide of hate in its wake. The leader of the cult is connected to Ryan's past - to Trader and the war wagon days. Littered with victors and losers, it's a past some can't walk away from... In this haven in a ravaged country, Ryan and his warrior wayfarers find that new laws of survival have emerged.
In the Deathlands, the wrong move buys eternity.

book 44 already? And only 80 or so to go. Deathlands has been a good friend and hopefully will continue to be.

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