My Avatar has nothing to do with PUSH, however it has a lot to do with Rush  I am a long time fan of the band having seen them at least twice on every UK tour they have done since 1975 -yes I am that old!

Yep!
I found the first book in WH Smith whilst at Polytechnic in Middlesbrough way back when, and then picked up the other books up to book 12 after that. They were published by Harlequin UK which ceased to be just after book 12 was published here. After that I had to go to getting them from Harlequin in the US.

What is our favorite what? Books or series?
I really like both, but Deathlands was the original. So, despite its current issues, ie, Ryan not going on a quest for his lost son, Dean, more logic in weaponry and tactics, clothing, etc...I still like it better than OL.
I like the unpredictability of the matt-trans jumps. I still love that concept, as well as the world being still messed up with muties everywhere. Muties have gone to the wayside in OL.  |

I think I like Dl better too but to be fair I have only read the first three OL's. I think Ryan should definitely go looking for Dean but where would he start? Could anyone see a Dean led spin off?
I think it is time to kill off one of the main character's, for them to be in so many "adventure's" and all survive every time kind off dumbs down the series IMO. But who would you let go? I used to say Doc but he's kind off grown on me over the last wee while. Mildred? I know a lot of the fan's hate her. Ryan? Krysty? Don't even look at my man Jak!!!
And what would you lot think about the novels being written P.O.V style? From just the one perspective?

I like all your points you've suggested or pointed out.
Ryan is a father, so his love for his son would start SOMEWHERE. I mean, in that crappy book in which they ran into each other would be the best place to start. I just wished the authors and the editors would pay attention to the deep love and respect that Ryan and Dean had, along with the rest of the group.
In stead of treating his kidnapping like a stranger. It just shows us fans - yeat gain! - just how lackadaisical GE and their worker bees think of us fans as being intelligent. I mean, does any fan here think Ryan and the companions would merely shrug their shoulders and think Dean's kidnapping was just another one of those unfortunate things that happen in the deathlands?
No, I don't think so!
Ryan is made of sterner, and honorable stuff. And Krysty's motherly instincts would drive that home even further. |

He may not shrug and say "oh well," but Ryan's a pragmatist over all - this has been demonstrated time and time again. He knew good and damn well that when Sharona took Dean through the mat-trans, he'd never find them. As he often says, "There's no putting spilled blood back in the body", so there was no point in moping about it - he knew Dean would be okay, and he knew they'd meet up someday. In the meantime, he had his own and his friends' survival to worry about.

I always thought that Dean being taken out of the story was so that when he finally got back together he wouldn't be so father worshiping. That he would be his own man,if not Ryan's equal then certainly more independent that he was before he left with his mom. I was glad to see that was the way he was written when he came back.
As for Ryan going looking for him I think Ryan didn't want to risk all their lives on what could have been a life long quest.
For my small questions -
1) I have always wondered why the companions have never added body armor to their regular gear.
2) It has been one hundred years since the war how many generations have there been I mean Ryan and JB are nearly 40 years old if their parents were in there 20 when they were born just how many generations have past ? Could their grand parents have been first generation survivors ?

Good point's guy's. I too liked the way Dean was written, although the book was a wee bit shoddy.
Body armour should be a must surely? I think you must be right about Ryan and JB being third generation.
I too have a question, how come so many off the Redoubt's are empty? I would have thought at the time of skydark and beyond that these would be ideal bases for survivor's.

In answer to your questions -my two or pennies worth, 1 Why bother? The characters only get shot or hurt when it is required by the story. If the story doesn't require them to get hurt they can walk through a hail of fire unharmed. They would also look too much like sec men or "cold hearts". 2 A generation is said to be 20 to 22 years, so 5 or 6 have passed since skydark in the world of deathlands.

I guess that: Being only in his thirties (in real terms) Coming from an age without sugary sweets and drinks having access to dentistry -ok 19thC but still better than what is available to the world of DL makes his mouth furniture stand out against the DL crowd.

I agree with the commentor before me.
Also they point out how Mildred's teeth are really good as well.
Which would come from being able to see a dentist on a regular basis. I cannot
even imagine not having any dental care, like a tooth brush and floss.
I think they do not bring it up more because they do not want, say Krysty, to be
thought of as having horrible rotten teeth which would take away from her sex
appeal.

I too have wondered why so many of them are empty . My idea on this is that after the war the survivors who knew about the redoubts looted them . We saw in stoneface that the Anthill people were stockpiling supplies those had to come from somewhere . In another book(which I can't recall the name for) it said that the companions just missed someone else who used the Mat-Trans that was rated for off planet jumps. That was the place that they found the hand gun for Donphilmore along with a space suit in a locker.

It is explained in several places that just prior to skydark almost all of the redoubts were evacuated and stripped with the staff and equipment being moved via the gateways to the anthill and other COG bunkers.
That book would be Dectra chain one of my favourite DL books. Although written before the advent of OL it may have been the folk from either Parallax Red (unlikely as it was badly damaged during skydark and mostly abandoned -see DL Paralllax Red) or Cydonia base on Mars (most likely) using that gateway.

Well, Denver Airport is nothing that special, and the area is totally flat. But the outer areas are gorgeous and mountainous. Breathtaking, actually.
Yellowstone is very nice, despite all the fallen and burned trees. Too numerous. Especially worse now because of the recent major fire.
Crater Lake is magnificent.  |

I keep on seeing references in the last three books I've read in the series to a group called the "Farer's" is there any books where they appear centre stage??? The books that mention them are Stoneface, Nightmare Passage and Downrigger Drift. |

No, i don't recall a book starring these Farers.
The first two titles you mentioned were written by Mark Ellis, the original author of OL, and the last one was John Helfers, who I think is a very solid author of DL.  |

"Farers were a loosely knit but far-flung group of nomads who travelled the Midwestern Deathlands, trading goods, foodstuffs and even themselves to villes" Page 57 Stoneface.
Didn't think they were in a main sequence but just wanted to double-check. Seems like they could be a group the Companions would ally or work with.
Have the Tech-Nomads appeared in any other books apart from Havens Blight? |

Heh.
Funny thing...back during the period when DL hit its lowest possible common denominator around 2003, I think...the former GE editor asked me if I could write another book in the series. I pitched the return of Lars Hellstrom, which he was okay with but I also suggested overhauling the series to some extent in order to lift its IQ into at least the double digits.
He didn't like that idea much, so me returning to DL never went further than a couple of conversations.

I've been wanting to read them for ages but the second one seems impossible to get over here. Tried to download it to my kindle from amazon.com but that doesn't seem to work for any DL novels. It was going to cost me £13 to get it from the US and while I'm a big DL fan I'm also a penny pinching Scotsman!!

Jim,
You mean the mutie giant mollusks in that LJ book? Can't think of the title, dammit. Major threat to the future of humankind, 400-pounders, five-feet-across, telepathic, telekinetic, once they get a grip never let go, eat-you-up-and-spit-out-the-bones? Yes, the clammies are prominently featured in two-page spreads.

Major threat to the future of humankind, 400-pounders, five-feet-across, telepathic, telekinetic, once they get a grip never let go, eat-you-up-and-spit-out-the-bones? Yes, the clammies are prominently featured in two-page spreads.
AP.
Not quite, although the ones I have in mind have been featured in many two page spreads over the years

I'm sure I read somewhere that Jaks hometown is now a radiated wasteland, why is this? Did this happen in Strontium Swamp?

That was long ago, back in the LJ days. Lessee... if memory serves, they jumped to the LA redoubt and found it was a wasteland; later, in Deep Empire, they hear that the swamps drying out drove the Cajuns east, and they became pirates (or were somehow involved with the pirates, I forget).

That would be book #32 of Outlanders "Evil Abyss"

and I think its the Devi-Naga on the cover.

There is supposed to be lots of big East Coast Baronies but apart from Front Royal I hardly think any have been featured? Can you name some more?

I think that there were three others named but I would need to go find my books to be sure .
There was two that were destroyed by the microwave power space array in the story where Ryans nephew's Baronie is threatened with destruction by the white coat who controls that space array.
Wasn't there also the one where the Baron lived in an old high rise tower where he used human and mutie muscle power to wind up & down his elevator .

Thanks was Casanova ville and Bullrun Ville in the Baronies Trilogy and Willie Ville in Skydark. I think the first two were just your standard size villes but Willie Ville was big.

There's also the one in Florida - Greenglades. New Hampshire had a couple (one of the Pollotta books), too.

Cheers Jim, I've never actually seen it I'm embarrassed to say but I think ill need to give it a shot. Was it originally black and white? I seem to recall seeing a similar scene where someone handcuffed one of the racers without them knowing?
