Hellbound Fury (The Lost Earth Saga, #1)
WORLD WITHOUT END
The nuclear blasts at the turn of the millennium have touched humanity with the cold breath of extinction, and the exiles from the centers of power realize that the odds for survival haven't changed greatly under the new order...
A former enforcer for the new lords, Kane found shelter in Cerberus Redoubt, along with the archivist Brigid and fellow magistrate Grant. They know that unseen forces guard an ancient secret, which has thrown a dark shroud over the future. Behind them stands the impenetrable past. But all that changes when they are suddenly catapulted into another reality - and here, as they attempt to remake the future, the enemy races to turn time into a weapon of destruction.

The charcaters are cool, the plot is riveting and the action scenes can't be beat. Col. Thrush (introduced in Omega Path) has thrown down the gauntlet and has challenged Kane to stop him. Never to back away, Kane has accepted the challenge and will be doing what no other person in the history of either series has done. Travelled to a parallel casement.

Ahhh the multiverse ! Long before the strange doctor started traipsing through it on the big screen and made the word well established in pop culture, the Outlanders showed us what it’s all about.
This book is a direct sequel to Icebound, and its book 1 of the Lost Earth Trilogy, starting off with Kane and Brigid in Tibet having survived Agartha. They have the black stone, and the first hint of trouble comes when Kane briefly merges with his parallel self in a few different dimension on the trip home through the mat-trans.
This leads Lakesh to discover the use of artifact, it can transport people to alternate realities, in this first book, the Archons have helped Hitler win World War 2, and the nazis rule the new America with an iron fist.
Colonel Thrush and Salvo make return appearances, Thrush being the more interesting of the two characters, as he has machinations on the multiverse as well, specifically the domination and eradication of humanity on all parallel ‘casements’.
I’m starting to decide Thrush is some kind of AI program, maybe from the future ? It’s hard to tell where the imaginative mind of Mr. Ellis will go next, as each book still brings surprises and new mysteries.
This is the start of the Lost Earth trilogy, its action packed and actually a bit of horror in there as well (I’m looking at you Battle Class hybrids), it will be interesting to see the next few worlds the group travels to, which were hinted at in the beginning of this book.
Another great Outlanders !

Set in the same world as the Deathlands series. These books follow another set of adventures in the post holocaust world. Good men's adventures series. Recommended
