Axler,_James_-_Deathlands_59_-_Amazon_Gate

It was a hard battle, but the hordes of muties grew less

The Amazons raced forward to gain ground, treading on the corpses of their

chilled foes and driving the remaining stickies back. Surveying the carnage,

Ryan gave a sigh of relief and exhaustion. "Fireblast, I thought they'd never stop

coming."

"They'll need to regroup, too," Gloria stated, "if they're going to attack. So we

should have some time." The Gate queen directed her people to make camp,

clear the chilled and tend to the few minor wounds the warriors had received.

Ryan gathered together his people. Speaking softly, he said, "It's not the stickies

I'm worried about." Doc noticed the puzzled look that Jak gave the one-eyed

man, and spoke. "If I am not mistaken, my dear Ryan, you allude to the fact that

our little mutie friends were genetically altered?"

Ryan nodded. "And if we're approaching the place you've heard of, then…"

"Then the danger may not be from the stickies," Mildred finished.

Sometimes I wondered if it was possible that the whole structure of government

wasn't just some sort of absurd joke, and that underneath it all, underpinning the

whole structure and fabric of our society, there was a covert and secret society

that had it all nicely arranged for their own ends. After all, if Adam Weishaupt

had gotten his way, then the Illuminati would be running the world. Maybe they

were. The only consolation is that they'd bomb themselves out of existence,

which isn't much of a consolation, is it?

THE DEATHLANDS SAGA

This world is their legacy, a world born in the violent nuclear spasm of 2001 that

was the bitter outcome of a struggle for global dominance.

There is no real escape from this shockscape where life always hangs in the

balance, vulnerable to newly demonic nature, barbarism, lawlessness.

But they are the warrior survivalists, and they endure—in the way of the lion, the

hawk and the tiger, true to nature's heart despite its ruination.

Ryan Cawdor: The privileged son of an East Coast baron. Acquainted with

betrayal from a tender age, he is a master of the hard realities.

Krysty Wroth: Harmony ville's own Titian-haired beauty, a woman with the

strength of tempered steel. Her premonitions and Gaia powers have been

fostered by her Mother Sonja.

J. B. Dix, the Armorer: Weapons master and Ryan's close ally, he, too, honed

his skills traversing the Deathlands with the legendary Trader.

Doctor Theophilus Tanner: Torn from his family and a gentler life in 1896,

Doc has been thrown into a future he couldn't have imagined.

Dr. Mildred Wyeth: Her father was killed by the Ku Klux Klan, but her fate is

not much lighter. Restored from predark cryogenic suspension, she brings

twentieth-century healing skills to a nightmare.

Jak Lauren: A true child of the wastelands, reared on adversity, loss and

danger, the albino teenager is a fierce fighter and loyal friend.

Dean Cawdor: Ryan's young son by Sharona accepts the only world he knows,

and yet he is the seedling bearing the promise of tomorrow.

In a world where all was lost, they are humanity's last hope…

Chapter One

Something was wrong, but for the life of him—and it could mean that—Jak

Lauren was unable to work out exactly what it was.

The albino hugged the ground, smelling the rich loam as it filled his nostrils with

a heady scent. The roots and leaves of the plants mixed into a rich aroma that

still couldn't hide the stench of death, the rancid aroma of rotting flesh and dried

blood that permeated his clothes and into his very skin.

He blinked, his red eyes stung by the sweat that trickled into them. Despite the

irritation, he resisted the temptation to reach up and wipe the liquid away, loath

to move his arm and disturb the foliage around him. Until he was sure what was

happening, even the slightest movement was a danger. Even the merest whisper

of a rustle could bring death down on him.

Jak's long white hair was lank and loose around his face, strands of it plastered to

his skin while other loose hairs tickled and poked at the corners of his nose and

mouth. Like the sweat, he ignored the irritation.

Instead, he focused on what was around, straining every nerve end,

concentrating his senses so hard that he could almost hear the blood pounding in

his veins, the hissing of his own central nervous system.

None of that did anything to waylay the gnawing at the pit of his stomach. Jak

knew fear; despite his always seeming calm in the middle of a firefight, his

stillness when hunting and stalking, his almost stoic acceptance of every

dangerous situation he had faced in his journeys across the Deathlands, Jak knew

fear, recognized and embraced it. Embraced it, and yielded to it rather than fight

it and set his body at war with itself. It was only by knowing fear and accepting

it that he could gain the calm to find space in which to act rather than react, to

take control and win.
