The Wastelanders kindle unlimited S Merbeth s WASTELANDERS which puts her novels BITE and RAID in a single volume tells the story of Kid a young girl struggling to survive another day in a post apocalyptic American wasteland until teaming up with a band of misfit marauders straight out of the Frankenstein child of THE ROAD WARRIOR and the game BORDERLANDS. Kindle The wastelanders minecraft The stories are packed with post apocalyptic tropes and adventures with Kid finding her way in a marauding tribe where morality has little survival benefit but where she does discover a personal code Along the way she toughens up to become a raider herself as the gang plows through one problem and enemy after another The fun is in the fact this gang are the bad guys a mini version of Lord Humongous s army and they re in it to survive and have a good time doing it Merbeth does a good job making these raiders sympathetic if morally gray prone to betrayal and occasionally cannibalistic largely by showing how worse everybody else is in this insane post apocalyptic world.

The wasteland san francisco 5 StarsVideo Review originally heard this book described as Mad Max mixed with Borderlands Since I love both the movie and the video game I was immediately wanted to read this book I am now happy to report that these comparisons are entirely accurate. Book The wastelanders Bite is a fast paced adventure story that jumps right into the middle of the action From the first page the story takes off at a lightning fast paced and barely gives the reader a moment to breath This book would be ideal for a reading slump or an airplane trip as it has the page turner qualities necessary to keep even the most distracted reader engaged. Book The wastelanders minecraft With this fast paced narrative style there is very little world building in this novel Instead the reader is dropped into the world forced to figure it out as the story goes Personally I prefer background in my dystopian post apocalyptic fiction because I love to know how the world got to the current state Towards the end of the novel there is some explanation as to the cause of the wasteland but world building is not the primary focus of the story This novel has some crossover appeal for readers of young adult novels who are looking to pick up adult fiction The fast paced narrative felt reminiscent of many popular YA dystopians where the story is primarily carried through action and adventure Yet Bite is a decidedly adult book with unobscured violence and other mature scenes. The Wastelanders booker Given the subject matter it should not be surprising that this book deals with some gross imagery I love that the author wrote unapologetically gruesome and violent action pushing her storytelling to the limit Understandably this story might not be for everyone particularly those who are sensitive to violence and gore in their media Yet I have to admit that I personally loved the sickening plot and was engaged in this cutthroat and ruthless narrative. The Wastelanders Science fictional I was impressed that the author was able to make the reader feel empathetic towards a rag tag group of cannibals I enjoyed the entire cast of characters and particularly appreciated their moral ambiguity I could never fully trust any of their loyalties which made the story quite unpredictable and fun At times the main character was frustratingly naive and incapable She constantly tried to act tough but actually leaned heavily on the rest of the group for protection However she did grow as a character and became much stronger as the story progressed There is a potential love interest which is not something I typically enjoy in adventure stories However I appreciated the way the author turned the trope around with a refreshing twist to this exhaustive trope I would recommend this novel to those who enjoy fast paced entertaining reads and aren t afraid of some good ol blood gore and cannibalism I requested this novel from Orbit Books in exchange for an honest review As always my opinions are my own. Horror The wastelanders podcast Raid is the follow up or companion to the author s debut novel Bite which I also read and loved This is set in the same world but has an entirely separate story with a different set of characters If you previously read Bite you will catch up fun Easter eggs in Raid However readers can pick up the books in either order without being spoiled or confused in any way. Book The wastelanders The main character in this novel is exactly the kind of female lead I wanted to read in post apocalyptic world of anarchy Clementine is strong kick butt and wonderfully unapologetic Living by her own personal code she is a morally grey character While she is tough as nails she is still capable of feeling emotions from loneliness to betrayal although she does her best to outwardly suppress these feelings. Horror The wastelanders podcast Finally I want to clarify the genre so readers pick up this novel with the right expectations This certainly not a piece literary dystopian but rather an addicting action story that takes place within the dangerous of wastelands of some ominous future There are enough elements of world building to provide the story with the necessary context Yet the novel itself is primarily focused on telling the story surrounding our main characters and crazy events that ensue The chapters are quite short with cliffhangers to keep the reader engaged turning pages as quickly as possible This is a perfect book to pick in a reading slump because the it reads so easily This is fast paced action driven story full of twist and turns and plenty of bloodshed With plenty of language and violence the author is not afraid to write the darker aspects of a world that has fallen into anarchy I would recommend this to anyone looking to go along for a thrill ride with a fun bloody story I requested this from Orbit Books 0316527076 So I read this omnibus edition and it was a lot of fun I ve got two separate reviews down below for the two books included.
