3.5 Interesting to read the origin of Jak Lauren, but overall not that great/interesting
Possibly the best Deathlands book I've read yet. A well written pulp adventure with some revolting villains and a growing sense of heroism amongst the protagonists. Quite a few significant details are added to the mythos. Jak joins the team and we find out more about Ryan's secret past. Shockingly violent in places and a fast pace. A good one to sample the series with.
I don't think of myself as particularly squeemish or prudish, but I thought this books was just gross and offensive. I gave it a shot, but didn't feel it necessary to finish.
More of the same pulpy goodness. These are my guilty pleasure. The audio presentation is what makes it a fun quick listen. Some of the gory parts were pretty cringe worthy. Very fast paced.
The Baron characted along with his lead Sec Man Mephisto add a depth of darkness and vileness that have not yet been reached until now. Although it's for adult audiances, this descriptive account of capture, torture, and abuse is entertaining to say the least.
Neutron Solstice should come prepackaged with the moniker “If you’ve read one, you’ve read them all”, because, like the previous 2 books in Deathlands series, there’s nothing new or game changing here. 3 books in and it’s more of the same dreary, deadly, post apocalyptic wasteland of America, full of mutants and killers and raping and sex and more gore than you can shake the proverbial stick at.Usually, I’d be totally fine with that (and I was with the first 2), but it now seems we are stuck in
My ratings system is as follows. One star is GOOD. The book is entertaining, easy to read and you don't want to stop reading because something about the book is compelling you not to. Two stars is GREAT! This time the story is not only entertaining, but highly creative, unique, easy to read and hard to put down. Three stars is EXCELLENT. Here the book has all aspects of one and two stars, but now the book is thought and emotionally provoking. Four is AWESOME. This is the read that is not only cr...
Het audioboek is goed geproduceerd, met veel geluidseffecten en dergelijke, maar het verhaal zelf valt eigenlijk toch tegen. Ga de reeks niet verder beluisteren.
The vagaries of the redoubt transmats land Cawdor and crew in a hot humid south that has seen the waters rise, pushing inland and creating swamps that are home to radiated creatures and mutated humans alike. Leaving the safety of concrete and solid steel, the team stumble across swamp people who are determined to take their lives, muties who won't die, and eventually a town unbelievably untouched by the nuclear holocaust of the past. But, the universe gives and the universe takes away. Family ga...
Great series of books and fantastic in audio
An average apocalyptic adventure story. This one takes place a century after the last war and now there are mutants running around the earth. Recommended
2.5
Another great book by James Axler. I have read a lot of the newer books, but decided that I would like to start at the beginning to read this series. For those who enjoy a very explicitly detailed and graphic accounting of events that occur, then this book is for you.
Good production quality. Not something to listen to while the kids are in the car though.
This one felt really quick. And bloody, as usual. Not so much on the oddities side as they end up in an area that was hit with neutron bombs, thus killing people and animals, but leaving buildings intact. Learn a bit more about Ryan, and hints of Doc's past.
La. is the exit portal where this takes place.
This was the first James Axler--it's a house owned name with multiple authors writing the series--that I ever read. Bought it used because it looked interesting and it was. Lots of action in a post Apocalyptic world setting which is one of my favorite futuristic themes.If you like 'men's fiction' with lots of fights and freaky mutants, dangerous warlords and down right bug nuts crazy stuff going on, I highly recommend reading this series.
Yep, I'm a glutton for punishment... He's getting better though. Once again too much unneeded detail, at least the stories don't suck...yet.
Set formula to this series! Explore somewhere, someone dies, someone's captured, escape somehow, kill someone, repeat......
This was the first Death Lands book I bought. I was hooked immediately. Now have every book in the series.
