For those who think that Outlanders is better than Deathlands, I hold this book up as proof it isn't true. Half of this book is retreaded info from the past few books. If you have never read any of the Outlanders, this info might be useful. However it makes for dull reading. Not only is it page after page of exposition, but it literally is word for word from the other books the info is taken from. There are good bits, the plot does eventually move forward. The characterization is well done. Unfortunately this is rushed and really only takes up the space of a good novella. Having said all that, however, this series is normally well done and interesting. I highly recommend them and the Cutting Audio full cast drama audiobooks are excellent and unabridged.
