Long-Running Book Series of action-adventure novels set in an After the End North America, now called Deathlands. A detailed prologue in the first novel explains how a hardline communist faction tried to decapitate the entire US political and military command structure by detonating three briefcase nukes during the Presidential inauguration, as a preliminary to a surprise nuclear attack. Things Go Horribly Wrong and the resulting nuclear, chemical and biological conflagration turns Earth into the equivalent of a Death World.In the year 2104 life in Deathlands is nasty, brutish, short, and frequently mutated. However, the Hired Guns of the Trader have things better than most. Traveling from one feudal barony and fortified town to another in their heavily-armed wagon train, they've become adept at locating the hidden stockpiles of weapons and equipment left by the now-defunct US government.After an attack on their convoy the Trader's war captain, Ryan Cawdor, saves and is saved by a stunningly beautiful female captive called Krysty Wroth. She is convinced that a gateway to a better world lies in The Darks (formerly known as the Glacier National Park in Montana). This is an old Urban Legend and Ryan is naturally skeptical, but events force him and several companions to seek it out. What they discover there leads them to a series of adventures across the Deathlands and beyond. Their wanderings lead them to battle an endless array of power-hungry warlords, kill-crazy marauders, mutant monsters, Mad Scientists and various other villains. Expect loads of Gorn and Gun Porn, over-the-top characters, cool events, and some crazy landscape. To date the series has reached over 100 books with multiple authors, making for some interesting adventures for the characters.There is also Outlanders, a spin-off series set a hundred years on from the events of Deathlands. Lost Technology has been used to bring the chaotic Deathlands under the despotic rule of a centralized government backed by mysterious forces; the series depicts the efforts of a group of renegades operating from the Darks to oppose them. Employing conspiracy theories and myths from all cultures as underpinnings, Outlanders quickly distanced itself from the gun-fixated survivalist tone of Deathlands and struck out in new directions, providing explanations for many of the unresolved science-fiction elements in the earlier series.After being in print since 1988, the series is currently out of print due to Gold Eagle Publishing closing down in 2015.

Anyone Can Die: Any character that is not part of the long running group of characters frequently referred to as "The Companions" can be killed off during the course of a single novel, or survive for a few novels before dying.

The Artifact
 Deathlands / int_13d7a65e
comment
The Artifact: Early on Ryan used a unique weapon, the H&K G-12 (a gun that never existed). Eventually that gun would be dumped after its real world counterpart the H&K G-11 never went into production outside of a small number. So eventually Ryan was scaled back to using a Steyr rifle.

comment
Rule of Cool: The book contains plenty instances of this to help keep the story interesting. Expect characters to do incredibly implausible things or beat impossible odds. Sometimes it is even used to set the theme or mood for where they are currently. Krysty Wroth tends to be depicted in cover art holding a bolt-action Sniper Pistol, despite the fact that she'd have little use for such a weapon.

Deadly Gas
 Deathlands / int_3ac2a3e3
comment
Deadly Gas: The Soviets use chemical weapons along with their biological and nuclear weapons in the event that turned America into the Death Lands. When the Trader finds a stash of nerve gas, he buries it and destroys the evidence that lead him there in the hope no-one will ever use such weapons again. Unfortunately it doesn't work; half his convoy gets gassed with nerve agents. Nerve gas grenades make a few appearances, but due to the old age of the weapons, they are not always as lethal as they could be or even dangerous to handle.

Plot Driven Break Down: Expect this to happen to modes of transportation, the redoubts themselves, and other potentially useful items a lot.

Double Tap: Sometimes the characters really need to make sure something is dead. This applies especially to mutants because their internal anatomy is not always the same as humans.

Fog of Doom: The Cerberus active defense system found guarding a few bunkers in the books. The fog is an active weapon system left over from before the war described as actively attacking and tearing apart whatever it gets ahold of.

Apocalypse How

Apocalypse How: A Planetary Societal Collapse. While modern civilization is pretty much obliterated as we know it, there are enough remnants such as vehicles, weapons, ammo, books and other items that they have not completely lost it all. There is even widespread organization and recovery on a scale sufficient enough to fuel small cities and large towns.

All That Glitters

comment
All That Glitters: The group find some sealed crates and J.B. starts going into excessive detail over what exotic weapons might be in them. Everyone (except J.B.) bursts out laughing when the crates turn out to be full of thousands of plastic zippers. Any number of the Redoubts that are scattered all over the U.S. and other locations. The companions frequently find nothing of real value in the old fortifications. What's worse is that there are many things left over in various facilities and other bunkers from the war that have often proven to be very dangerous, such as killer robots and the remnants of experiments that were left to run away and go wild. In one redoubt the characters find a stash of what appears to be well preserved food; an often valuable find in the Death Lands. Unluckily said food leads to a severe case of food poisoning.

All of the Traders' vehicles have these placed into them to keep the wagons and their contents from falling into the wrong hands. When the switch is not activated after a certain period of time the convoy blows up in front of the Big Bad who'd hoped to seize it after killing everyone that was in the convoy.

Eye Scream: One of the nicer things that can possibly happen to your eyes is getting them put out. Gory depictions of eyeball destruction are frequent when it comes to eyes being injured or ripped out. Neutron Solstice, the third book in the long-running series, is chock full of this. This happens to a raven, Jak Lauren's father, The Dragon Mephisto, and the Big Bad Baron Tourment after attempting to shoot his brains out. The description of what happened to Ryan and how he lost his eye, as well as his occasional nightmares about it when his remaining eye is threatened.

Having secretly acquired all the nuclear launch codes, he's able to launch a counterstrike before the Soviet missiles destroy the ICBM launch sites.

The Film of the Book: Sci-Fi Channel did a fairly decent adaptation of Homeward Bound, where Ryan Cawdor returns to the barony from which he was outlawed. Be prepared however for Narmish acting, too much red tint, no Doc Tanner or Lori Quint, ex-porn star Traci Lords as a Lady Macbeth-style baroness, and a complete absence of giant mutant monsters.

Kinetic Weapons Are Just Better: That's because they actually work. The team once ended up at a military research facility run by inbred descendants of the scientists there. Among the research was energy weapons and the laser guns kept failing to fire. Except once... and the victim of that was one of Ryan's old buddies from his days with the Trader. That said the wounds from the laser gun were so terrible that Ryan was almost sick from horror.

Baron Zeal who previously burned one of Trader's men alive with his special torture chamber, eventually tries escaping an imminent explosion by jumping in said torture chamber. However, while the thick-walled torture chamber survives the massive explosion, it eventually winds up in the bottom of the crater of a destroyed refinery surrounded by burning fuel and oil, with the door wedged shut. Zeal ends up burning alive for weeks.

The tank is described as being very makeshift—trying to be a tank, APC and (eventually because of the Big Bad getting hold of it and doing modifications) mobile throne room.

Evil Wears Black: The Sec forces of Mocsin are the patently obviously evil black uniform-wearing bad guys.

The Starscream: It's so normal for a Baron to be overthrown by his Head Blaster that it's become something of a tradition.

Emergency Weapon

comment
Emergency Weapon: People who work for the Trader have enough hidden odds and ends to make a door breaching charge. They conceal plastic explosives, wires, detonators and a signal detonator in their clothing shoes, seams, and gear. Easily-concealed small weapons like derringers and knives also are used in this role, with various characters including villains using them to get out of a tight spot.

Forbidden Zone: The Darks; supposedly home to a Redoubt full of riches, but no-one has ever returned from various well-armed expeditions except a couple of crazed survivors because it's guarded by the above-mentioned Fog of Doom.

MacGyvering
 Deathlands / int_fd5603b
comment
The book Pandora's Redoubt revolves around the Companions managing to get hold of a tank that was MacGyvered by another gang from military vehicles left in a Redoubt. The tank is described as being very makeshift—trying to be a tank, APC and (eventually because of the Big Bad getting hold of it and doing modifications) mobile throne room.

Dark and Troubled Past

comment
Dark and Troubled Past: Before Doc Tanner was found by Ryan and the "Companions", he was kept as entertainment by a cruel band of thugs. Whenever he failed to amuse them (which was often), they would force him to have sex with the pigs they kept. It's this and other torments inflicted on him, that did so much damage to Doc's mind.
