Title: A missed opportunity
Review: What could have been a great chance to tell the story of Trader and the war-wag days has been squandered, resulting in a decidedly sub-par Deathlands novel. Serious inaccuracies, some poor writing and a pretty lame plot threaten to make this book almost not worth buying. The bit that really does make it worth buying has nothing to do with the story at all. Right at the end of the book there are essays on the birth and evolution of the Deathlands saga. They really should have made the entire book like this, it's totally fascinating stuff.Treat the story as nothing more than a folk tale and not part of the Deathlands canon and you might be able to put up with its failings. All I hope is that if someone tries something similar in the future, and I hope they do, that they put a bit more effort and thought into it.
