Publisher's Synopsis
In the blasted heart of the new America, Ryan Cawdor and his band of warrior-survivalists search for hidden caches of food, weapons and technology--the legacy of a pre-holocaust society--stashed in lonely outposts known as redoubts. When Ryan ingests bacteria-infested food, he lies near death--his body paralyzed but his mind traveling rapidly back to his early days in the Deathlands...moving through the southwest on post-nuke vehicles called warwags...and his run-in with the Baron. Towse, near what was once Albuquerque, is a ville in a freakishly beautiful landscape populated by scabbies and armed Apaches. Baron Alias Carson and his bejeweled wife, Sharona, welcome Ryan, J.B. Dix and the Tracker to their treacherous world. In the Deathlands the past is a dream. The future is a nightmare.
