Deathlands #21
Twilight Children
AFTER THE DAY OF RECKONING
Survival is an endless battle in the dark age of post-holocaust America, but even amid the ashes of the past, new pockets of civilization emerge, fledgling communities bound by savage rules.
Ryan Cawdor and his band of warrior-survivalists are transported from one Valley of the Shadow of Death to another, shaken by the mind-bending effects of the mat-trans, emerging at last into a promised land whose inhabitants are healthy and young.
The ville is an oasis in a blighted land, but among the blond, blue-eyed near-children, Ryan and his wayfarers are pariahs destined to find out that the quest for Paradise exacts a steep price.
In the Deathlands, the future looks terminally brief.

Less against the local ville [though it couldn't be totally without] more wickerman inspired with a battle against stickies. Pretty good entry into the series.

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