Demons of Eden
LOST WORLD
The legacy of the twentieth century was the world-wasting nuclear firestorm that destroyed a way of life forever.

Yet in the desolation that is the Deathlands, an intrepid group of wayfarers continues the determined fight for survival and a better future.

Leaving a western ville besieged by desert pirates in search of the legendary cities of the Spanish conquistadors, Ryan Cawdor and his warrior survivalists enter a hidden valley untouched by civilization. Here the descendants of the First People are at one with Nature, following their sacred and mystical traditions. But deep in the valley is an awesome force, a power that can freely heal... or wantonly destroy.
In the Deathlands life is locked in mortal combat, and the only way out is the future.

Demons of Eden #37 in the Deathlands Series by house name James Axler was part of a Christmas present this past December (thanks Wil & Jenn).
This series is my own guilty pleasure. I love post-apocalyptic fiction. I don't much care how it happened, I just like to read the survival stories. As an early entry in the series, Demons of Eden fills the bill nicely.
Our band of companions meet up with a character from earlier adventures and enter the world of native-american mysticism. As often is the case, they encounter what could be a paradise only to uncover the hidden sickness.
The characters are true to their continuing depictions. We have the usual shoot-em up violence, life threatening danger and even some tenderness. Nice blend. Light on the evil mutations they often encounter. In short, pretty much a believable story line. At 346 pages, a bit longer than the usual 316.
In my opinion, one of the better series entries. Enjoy!

I listened to this on c.d. The cast was incredible and their were great sound effects. They end up in a valley that has been "untouched" my the nuclear holocaust of the outer world. The only thing that is "touched" are the wolves who communicate with humans. I really have enjoyed this series and went to the library and got 2 more. They don't have all of them, but they have 10 or so.

An average apocalyptic adventure story. This one takes a century after the last war and now there are mutants running around the earth. Recommended
