Outlanders: Wreath of Fire (Wreath of Fire, 12)

DH Audio, 2000

Great new character
One of the things that makes Outlanders so much fun to read is all the interesting villains. But they've never met a female villain before (unless you count Tara or Beth-li) and Ambika is one of the very best. The whole book was packed with action and my only complaint is that Brigid didn't have much to do in this book. She's still angry with Kane for what happened in the previous book and the ...

Talon and Fang (Outlanders #25)

Gold Eagle, 2003

Maybe the best in the whole series!
Talon and Fang could be one of the best in the whole series so far. It has one of the most original plots of them all of the ones I've read. Along with the action it has lots of heartbreak too. I can't wait for the next one in this two parter.

Outlanders # 1 - Exile To Hell Review
OUTLANDERS # 1 - EXILE TO HELL By James Axler (Mark Ellis) Genre: Sci-Fi/Action I've read two other Outlanders book both of which were good but this one the first in the series is absolutely fantastic and had me gripped in the story from the first page. The Outlanders book are set in the same "Universe" as the Deathlands books but about 50 or so years on from the adventures of Ryan Cawdor and his ...

Gold Eagle, 2004

Science Fiction With An Adventurous Edge
In a time when too many science fiction authors spend 700 pages to tell one 10th of their great big story arc (coughcoughrobertjordancoughcough) it's nice to know that a Science Fiction novel, with fantasy underpinnings, can deliver the goods quickly, sharply and efficiently. Unlike the deathlands fan from oveido, florida, I didn't think the pace of the novel was at all harmed by the inclusion of ...

both series
I would just like to say that for about the last 2 years,i have been reading both death lands and also outlanders.when it comes down to it,the last outlanders was the best.if you read the book you know what i am talking about!and as far as deathlands,i would have to say that shadow world really shook me up.because we as a people are on the same path as those who want to invade our world.

Outer Darkness (Outlanders)

Gold Eagle, 1999

Perfect way to end the trilogy
Well M.E. you did it again. At the beginning of the Trilogy I had a hard time following it. I didn't really understand the reason behind going to the alternate earths. But at the end of Outer Darkness, everything made Perfect Sense! It was to date, the best you have written. The way things are going, it won't be long before Outlanders begins to out sell Deathlands! The character ...

Equinox Zero (Outlanders #24)

Gold Eagle, 2003

A superior Outlanders adventure!
I always wondered by Grigori Zakat never returned after his first appearance in Iceblood, considering the obvious effort involved in creating him.. Now the twisted Russian priest is back to bedevil the Cerberus warriors as they learn Zakat's ultimate goal is to trigger a another ice age and unite the survivors under his rule, his edicts enforced by Norse warriors from the lost land of Ultima ...

Devil In The Moon (Outlanders)

Outlanders on the Moon
Kane and his fellow outcasts have found a secret base on the moon(again). I really liked this book, it is a breath of fresh air compared to the rather lack-luster performances of the recent deathlands books. The whole concept while it has been done before is still orginal in many respects. If you like good plup and a good story, go ahead and read this.

Outlanders: Tigers of Heaven (Outlanders) (Outlanders)

Major Insights
Tigers of Heaven This novel is one of the best Mark has written to date. It begins where Doom Dynasty left off, with Kane in the Clutches of Baron Cobalt in Area 51. I will not go into the details of what was happening to him, as it would spoil it for the reader. Suffice to say, the reader is treated a rare glimpse into the mind and society of the Hybrid race, how they react, their views on ...

Hell Rising (Outlanders)

James Axler

Gold Eagle, 2000

No Hype, just great reading!
This installment of Outlanders not only meets the high standards of quality it has imposed on itself since the beginning of the series, it has surpassed it! The blending of Nazi thinking, the traditional rumors and stories of Atlantis, mixed with both Gailek (sp?)history and lore as well as Plato's theroetical thoughts create not only a credible story which revives a previous character that some, ...

Outlanders # 41 - Skull Throne (Outlanders)

6 reviews
James Axler

Graphic Audio, 2007

A rousing adventure!
Skull Throne is another rousing adventure tale in this decade long series of them. The Cerberus warriors team up with an old enemy to face down Overlord Nergal. In the process the reader is introduced to the newly formed Cerberus Away Teams and goes on a vivid and colorful trek through the Amazon rain forest. As always, Mark Ellis mixes myth with real history with sharp characterization to ...

Mask of the Sphinx (Outlanders, No. 30)

6 reviews
James Axler

Gold Eagle, 2004

Masterful Storytelling
Mask Of The Sphinx is an engaging new episode in the Outlanders series. I was a little prejudiced against this book because it has a tie-in with a Deathlands novel, Nightmare Passage. Even though I read Nightmare Passage several years ago and liked it, I am angry with Gold Eagle for what seems like the "Deathlandization" of Outlanders with the two very substandard entries by another writer ...

Print More Darn It !!!
To bad these books are so hard to find. Maybe people would buy more if they weren't so rare. Even though I want to buy the whole series, I'm so discouraged that I'm thinking of giving up.Too bad. PRINT MORE BOOKS...

Doom Dynasty (Outlanders # 15)

James Axler

Gold Eagle, 2000

Money's worth and then some
I thought the previous book in the Outlanders series was about as good as it could get, but Doom Dynasty raises the whole series to a new level. We readers really get our money's worth in this book--we have the return of Balam and he doesn't come alone. He brings with him the Imperator of the title of the trilogy and he's nothing like what I or the barons expected. We're also introduced to the ...

Iceblood (Outlanders, 7)

Gold Eagle, 1998

Great book in a great series!
I've been an off-and-on reader of Axler's Deathlands series for several years, but I've been with Outlanders from the beginning. Though I've always enjoyed it, the alien angle bothered me. Partly, I couldn't understand why, if the Archon Directorate were so superior and had conquered humanity, we saw only one of them--Balam, who was a prisoner on top of it.Iceblood explains why, and I have to ...

Apocalypse Unborn (Deathlands)

James Axler

Gold Eagle, 2008

Deathlands Reborn!!!
The latest Deathlands novel, Apocalypse Unborn, I am glad to say is one of the most break-out, solid storyline, all-out action/adventure thrill-fest of the entire Deathlands saga in quite some time. This Deathlands is penned by long-timer Alan Philipson, who has been writing solid military action/adventure for almost 3 decades, but has in recent years taken a solid grasp of the Deathlands ...

Outlanders # 13 - shadow scourge

6 reviews
James Axler

Graphic Audio, 2008

Deviltry and derring-do
"Shadow Scourge" may be one of the strangest stories in the series so far and maybe that's why I liked it so much. With its references to a couple of old Deathlands adventures and echoes of Lovecraft, its fast-moving, VERY action-packed and filled with deviltry and derring-do. Our heroes face a villain of the likes they never encountered before and probably pray they never do again. The way ...

Far Empire (Outlanders #23)

Gold Eagle, 2002

Far Empire!!
As usual Mark Ellis has given us an OL installment that one just can't put down. From the first page, Far Empire hits the ground running, shooting out of the gate, and carrying the reader along for the ride. Unlike past installments of the OL series Far Empire, carried a very strong erotic tone that was apparent through the entire novel, as well as concentrating for the most part on some of the ...

Aftermath: The Mars Arena\Iceblood

Gold Eagle, 2006

Bought it for the cover
I've read Iceblood before, but not Mars Arena...it was pretty much like most of the other Deathlands books I've tried to read--basically silly, full of retarded rednecks carrying shotguns and retarded mutants. Flying monkeys? I thought this series was supposed to be set in post-nuke America, not post-nuke Oz! DL really comes off as dated. Iceblood is vastly the best of the two books ...

Outlanders: Tomb of Time

James Axler

Gold Eagle, 2001

One Could Get Spoiled With This Series
Another Outlanders science ficion / pulp masterpiece, with cracking dialogue, cool dinosaur rides, and action, action, action. Makes one wonder why the current Deathlands suck out loud ...oh, wait, different writer under the "James Axler" pen name. Amazing how the man behind the curtain makes a project sing, or, unfortunately, hit a series of bum notes. Highly recommended!
