I'm lost but it was good

by marco529

Ok so Delphi is back an gone again , but the story was good. Now that being said, I would also like to say thank you to the writers for finally getting the group some decent weapons , now if theyd just learn that 7.62x39 is an Ak round and is different than 7.62x51 nato used by the styer Ryan carries

Familiar and Editing woes

by recycler

Delphi - love the character

Cannies - one of the more boring threats of the Deathlands

Editing - Crappy editing is running rampant in almost everything I read nowadays, but none more irritating and abundant as in the "Desert Kings". Spelling mistakes abound!!!!

Pollotta - It has gotten to where I know who has written a certain DeathLands book before the end of the 10th page. Certain characters speech patterns are exaggerated, while other characters strengths are under-utilized, the amount of back-story, the amount of "techiness" or lack thereof.

Overall - Despite the annoying grammar and spelling mistakes...the story was interesting, though slightly stale. Bringing in one of the Rogan brothers was an excellent touch though offing him before any interaction with the Group was disappointing.

Was a pretty good book, it  got back to old death lands was some questions for me answered and new ones rasied. And if any thing else it's just a book for your collection.

my thought.
