Summary: A HELL OF A RISING STORY!
Review: The latest in this magnificent series is yet another great and fun read as Kane and his small group run afoul of a new but ancient enemy from the past. I always love this Celtic/past lives stuff that this remarkable storyteller mixes in so well with this post-holocaust series. This book was by far some of the grittiest-as-yet, down-and-dirty action scenes that I can remember. Man, that Kane can take some serious punishment - and give it back two-fold! I love the character Fand and how she was portrayed in this book was really exciting to read. She is sexy as well as a good fighter to boot. Such colorful characters and places mixed with tons of high action adventure scenes make this book one of the very best I have read. Mark Ellis is surely at the top of his game and full in his writers prime. Keep up the great work, you are definately giving DEATHLANDS a run for its money. You will love this new chapter for new or old reader fans - a must read!

Summary: Hell Rising in the British Isles
Review: The story seem a little too much like now. After a global holocaust, and nuclear winter, I would have expected the British Isles to be a little different and the introduction of a dead race as the dominant group (Celtics) seem a little off, but the story still flowed. This was my second book of the series in audio and was entertaining enough that I will being looking for more books in the series, in the future.

Summary: No Hype, just great reading!
Review: This installment of Outlanders not only meets the high standards of quality it has imposed on itself since the beginning of the series, it has surpassed it! The blending of Nazi thinking, the traditional rumors and stories of Atlantis, mixed with both Gailek (sp?)history and lore as well as Plato's theroetical thoughts create not only a credible story which revives a previous character that some, who read the series, may see as contrtoversial, but maintains the on going storyline of which the Outlanders series is based. From start to finish, this book will keep you hooked. For those who have read the series from the beginning, the interactions between the main characters of Kane, Grant, Brigid, and even Domi, heat up and new character insights once again make this series even more outstanding. If this is your first foray into the Outlanders series, then you will know and, I believe, get hooked on the series. This is no ordinary one dimentional "sci-fi" series. Multi-layered plots, indepth characterizations and interactions that are not pure black and white, keep the reader on their toes and often waiting for each installment with eagerness. Not the neat furturistic imaginings of Star Trek, yet each installment is just as imaginative and compelling. It is, to put mildly and simply, a wonderful read. Which is something I have come to expect in this series.

Summary: High Impact SF with Fantasy/Horror Twist!
Review: This is the first Outlanders book I've read, definitely not the last. Axler's unique style is refreshing and the storyline has me fired up for more. The characters were well constructed and intriguing. Not usually a big fan of violent scenes, these had me riveted and one actually choked me up at its conclusion. Overall, this book is very nicely done and the Lovecraftian touch at its conclusion is superb.
