The legend of the trader returns in the simmering dust bowl of the Badlands, the past calling out to Armorer J. B. Dix. Her name is Eula, young, silent, lethal and part of a new trading convoy quick to invite Ryan Cawdor and his band on a journey across the hostile terrain. But high-tech hardware and freindly words don't tell the real story behind a vendetta that is years in the making.
good read. nice twist at  end. however seems out of order with prior book.
What can I say...the teaser got me on this one. Perhaps it was more me than the book itself. I was expecting one thing and got another. The idea behind the story seemed a good one, but the author missed the mark. It just never got untracked in my opinion.
Well, this one had a good story line. Making JB the main point of the story was a good change.
What I liked:
-Making JB the main point of the story line;
-JB's past explained;
What I did not like:
-The book begins waaaaaay off track from the previous book. Previous book has the crew leaving Cascade Falls in an armoured veh, heading somewhere.....this book begins with them buying a bus in a different state.........I said it before and I say it now. the authour of a book needs to read the last few chapters of the previous book to have some sort of continuous story line !!;
-The convoy that gets attacked in the beginning had all the bad veh exploding. When in doubt, it seems that the authours blow everything up. Happened at the end too with the ville. Blew up every single building.Really? If the ville had been jacking convoys for a long time them there would be some nice veh stashed somewhere and quite a bit of the stolen merchandise would of survived the blast....nope.....all gone. Not a single nice weapon survived.
I am not sure where to put "the pack". Good that something new is in there but mutant cows sort of lost me.
Not a bad book but nothing exceptional either. Just another filler book.
