DEPTH CHARGE
Miles beneath the ocean's surface, a decaying redoubt barely protects Ryan and his companions from a watery death. Battling vicious assaults from cyborgs programmed by artificial intelligence to kill them, they're desperate to escape this underwater trap. But above the waves a new threat a massive predark super ship banished to the seas of Deathlands. Decades of madness have led to civil war between the citizens of the upper and lower decks. Now pawns in a bloody game, Ryan and the other survivors must destroy the ship or face their certain end at sea.
This was my first trip through the Deathlands. I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised. This is one of the later books of the series, so I thought I might be a little confused. The book was written in a way that made you feel like you've known these characters for a long time.
The story revoles around the Deathlanders coming on to an under water facility which has an army of cyborgs and a AI system that wants them to stay and repopulate the base. Very nice.
One of the better books in this long formulaic series of men's adventure. Not that bad for escapist literature. I have to remember that this series is written by a group of authors with varying skills.
Death lands is one of my guilty pleasures right up there with overly sweet candy. Your day has to look better after visiting in this world. This is one of the better books in the world. Kudos to who ever ghost wrote this one.
