Deathlands #94
Doom Helix
Devastation from the nukewar shattered civilization and left a planet both primitive and ripe for rebirth--or retaking. While the balance of power has fallen to avaricious, amoral barons, a handful of humanity still holds hope of a future worth fighting for or dying to defend. If a better life inside the hellground exists, Ryan Cawdor and his friends will find it.The Deathlands feudal system may be hell on earth but it must be protected from invaders from Shadow Earth, a parallel world stripped clean of its resources by the ruling conglomerate and its white coats. Ryan and his band had a near-fatal encounter with these genetically enhanced aggressors and their advanced weaponry and wags once before. Only a fatal chink in enemy armor saved planet Earth from plunder. Now, these superhuman predators are back, ready to topple the hellscape's baronies one by one.

I guess I should read these in order so I may enjoy them more. This being volume 94, it is also a sequel to some other book in the series. The Deathlanders come across an old enemy, and A Baron they knew in another book named after the festival of the self-reliant in the Black Rock Desert of Nevada, Burning Man. I may have been a bit to kind to give this 3 stars, but the ending was full of action. The problem was that the first 3rd was bogged down with scientific experiment dialog that ran together and made me forget what the hell "The Whitecoat" was on about to begin with.
Another problem I had with this was the white faced warriors under Burning Man. They hunted in silence. They were fearless in battle. They fallowed their ancestors, The Bannock Shoshone through treacherous terrain, with their eyes closed no less. But when the chips are down and they are trapped in a mine with invisible enemies all around, they fall to pieces. The author builds them up just to knock them down. The worst of the series so far that I've read.
