Another foray into my not so secret vice; the Deathlands series.
Depending on what site you use, Downrigger Drift is either #95 or #96 in the series.
As the title suggests this entry has a more nautical theme. This theme, throughout the series, has probably been my least favorite over all. Downrigger Drift does not fall into that category however.
Set on the shore of Lake Michigan, we find our intrepid group of survival warriors meeting up with an old friend. We get a taste of Native American culture mixed in with the ultra violence that is the hallmark of the deathlands books.
We meet a new kind of monster here which adds to the appeal of the story and even a bit more character development than usual. Fear not however, there is no shortage of violence, death and dismemberment.
Again these are my private unapologetic indulgences and I thoroughly enjoy them offering no apology or literary defense. They are good escapist entertainment. Enjoy!
Mike
