Cant seem to find this on Facebook. Could you post a link pretty please.

Well, it seems May's DL Desolation Angels just might be Dave Sealy's last book cover. Ron, do you know the author for this one?

The new one is not bad, but just too exact image of Kurt Russel and his Snake Plisskin character. Ryan had curly long hair, and has a bit more rangy musculature. As I've said recently, Michael Herring was the best cover artist. He had these characters down, exactly like they were described by Laurence James and mentally pictured in my reader's mind.

 The whole cover design looks slightly different. The logo is not placed in the same spot, now it is dead center. The daisy thing is weird, and should at least be colored yellow instead of plain white.

Overall, the artwork looks very similar to Seely. It is not bad. Perhaps this new artist will get better as they go along. I wonder who this latest cover artist is? Any idea Ron?

Yeah, Seely had some very cool covers.

Never even thought of the Dean angle. If it wasn't for the eyepatch, you might just be right. 

Maybe Dean Cawdor in the future turns into Kurt Russel's Snake Plisskin.

Interesting tidbit Jim.

I wonder just how many years have passed now since book 1? We are at nearly 120 books now right?

DL's Hanging Judge really took me back to the original author's feel and take on the characters and the devastated world, along with several memorable bad guys and a 'different' love for Jak.

It is rare that I would like to read a book twice, but Hanging Judge, for me, was that entertaining and well written. All the companions had their 'time in the light' and were showcased so well. Much more dramatic than just the usual companions kicking ass and moving on. It was just nice to have the companions argue, but sound and act like old school companions we've always known, instead of shadows of themselves.

Yeah I would think so because Dean is about 15? and i'm guessing Ryan had him about 25 although this just my guest work.

Dean was born around 2086

Some time in Jan 2096 they find the first gateway in PTH

Aug 2098 Dark carnival is set, the group appear to be stuck in a miss jump loop that lasts around 8 months of real time.

July 2098 Rider, reaper

April 2099 Eclipse at noon

things get a little blury from here as LJ stops writing the books and the time line goes to pot. I'm guessing its now some time in 2104 -2105 if dean was 18 when we last met up with him in book 100.

Jim: The wiki timeline is based on that one; I only changed things if I could confirm them. That one lists Ryan being born in 2061, which would make him 40ish. I seem to recall some of the early books saying he was in his mid-30s, so that sounds about right. I dunno. Maybe we should ask Wordsmith what year it is - she does keep track. <img src='http://www.jamesaxler.com/DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/dark//emoticons/tongue.gif' align="absmiddle" border="0" />

It is... but what I meant is that Chris' timeline says he was born in 2061, not 2069.

And... if we can nail down roughly what year it is NOW, we can figure out Ryan's real age (hence, asking Wordsmith).

I just added pages and cover artwork for Deathlands #117: Desolation Angels and Deathlands #118: Blood Red Tide.  Enjoy!
