Greetings and welcome aboard.

This question has been asked several times here and the answers are scattered throughout the DL General discussion threads.

All the DL books past book 33 have been written by various writers who are contracted to write several books and have them published at various dates thereafter. So with the exception of a couple of 2 and 3 book connecting books (see full book list under "The Books"/Deathlands at the top of this page for details of these) you can read any one published after 33 in any order you wish. Books 1 to 33 run in cronological order however as they were written by one writer -Laurence James who started the next book where the previous one finished.

Hope this answers your question.

most of the books start with a background..and then can stand on their own if you do not know the series..so yes i fee las if you can jump into one and not be too lost.

There are a lot of references to prior things that I think are important, to be honest I would say to start from the beginning. You will be missing a LOT if you don't.

True, that, but the early books are no longer in print and are hard to find. The wiki has a lot of information, enough that new readers will have at least some idea of what's going on - the Totality Concept, old enemies, info on redoubts, etc.
