Book 88 of 126: Deathlands

See all formats and editions

Survival is a dangerous enterprise in the aftermath of a nuked America. Humanity perseveres, but the Deathlands code is far simpler: kill or be killed, live or die trying. Driven by the fires of hope, a resilient band of warriors traverse the new frontier of the future, survivors by skill and legends by reputation.

The legend of the trader returns in the simmering dust bowl of the Badlands, the past calling out to armorer J. B. Dix. Her name is Eula. Young, silent and lethal, she's part of a new trading convoy quick to invite Ryan Cawdor and his band on a journey across the hostile terrain. But high-tech hardware, fast wags, flowing jack and friendly words don't tell the real story behind a vendetta that is years in the making.

I nearly always love these books. The "movie in your mind" is correct. You can almost see the characters. This one told us a little bit about J.B's past, but it was a little sad too. I would be telling him to sleep in his own sleeping bag for a bit if I were Mildred, well.... maybe not.

Good book

Shoot first ask questions later

Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2018

It was time for a little guilty pleasure reading, so I went with Desolation Crossing by the non-existent James Axler. I don't know the name of the actual author (just like the other hundred or so Deathlands books I have read).

Desolation Crossing is to my mind, one of the better entries in the series. Face it folks we are not talking literature for the ages here, we're talking survival in a post nuclear wasteland.

Plot? Sliced so thin it only has one side. But really, all a plot is for in the Deathlands series is to put our heroes in position to blow stuff up, chill bad-guys, and generally contribute to the mayhem of the times. That's why we read 'em!

Desolation Crossing is down and dirty survival mayhem and carnage. No bizarro world tech. No space station time travelling cold hearts bent on dominating the nuclear waste pile that is the deathlands. Just shoot first and ask questions later action, plenty of it here, the road trip from hell.

We learn a bit of J.B.'s history (the plot thins). One thing I really liked was not having to read for the hundredth time the backstories of each character. By now (book 86 or 87 depending on your source) we know how each character came to be a part of the companions, enough already!

Sex, drugs, and a little rock and roll, plus all the shoot 'em up action you could want. Desolation Crossing filled my guilty pleasure craving very nicely thank you. Enjoy!

Deathlands saves da day

Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2009

After reading two bad to mediochre outlanders books this one was a breath of fresh air. Even thought it dont seem to be the same author as the last two [...] ones this author at least knows how the characters act and react to each other and their situations towards people tryin to chill em.

Even thought it was a bit long winded at times this was a fun and popcorn type of ride read. Like the GI JOE movie. Not too deep, but full of blazin action and mutie chillin to not bore me ta death. This writer knows the downlow of these characters that i been reading about for about 10 years. Unlike the dudes writin Outlanders these dudes at least KNOW what the characters wear and how dey act.

Having the trader and the old scool dogs back was trippin! Dig that in a big way man. Trader and them cool cats need their own series. War wags is bumpin and chillin through the mutated infested lands. Big guns and hot steel! What happened to the sex in these books? Sex and violence went hand in hand back in the day.
