Über diesen Titel

From New York Times bestselling author Jonathan Maberry, the first in a thrilling series of novels based on Deadlands, a hugely successful role-playing game (RPG) set in the Weird, Weird West.

Welcome to the Deadlands, where steely-eyed gunfighters rub shoulders with mad scientists and dark, unnatural forces. Where the Great Quake of 1868 has shattered California into a labyrinth of sea-flooded caverns . . . and a mysterious substance called "ghost rock" fuels exotic steampunk inventions as well as plenty of bloodshed and flying bullets.

In Ghostwalkers, a gun-for-hire, literally haunted by his bloody past, comes to the struggling town of Paradise Falls, where he becomes embroiled in a deadly conflict between the besieged community and a diabolically brilliant alchemist who is building terrible new weapons of mass destruction . . . and an army of the living dead!

Deadlands is one of the most popular RPGs in history, with over a million Deadlands gaming books sold.

This one just pulls out all the stops - you have cowboys, zombies, airships, weird science. And when you just thinks they can't ramp it up anymore, they throw in the dinosaurs. So if you like you spaghetti Western with meat, this is for you!

Over the top!

I did not expect much from a game novel tie-in , but since I love the setting, and the initial scene is teasing and raises interest.... well. Damnstion I spend the money and the hangover (from listening) told me I had chosen badly

What came after though - simply catastrophic, a bad mish mash of genre tropes (let me see : undead slaveey, mad science, pre-historic creatures, southern plantatiob owener style villains, acid rain.....none of which even remotely go together ) , horrendous pacing, the authors lack of research into anything even remotely historically relevant to the story (like the Danes trying to establish themselves as a first rate power in mid 19th century) , nevermind him breaking many fix points of the setting itself...
So painful, thst if the story was a horse I would shoit it to end it's misery...

I will not even mention the comically badly written american native ( who feels almost like sn insult to his native people and quite racist to my midlife sensibilities ) with an english science degree and posh british accent that makes stuff like Bridgerton seem profoundly authentic

badly written , bad tropes, not faithful to the setting, no redeeming features

oh and the voice actors do this trash no favours either

avoid like the proverbial angry rattler

truly horrible
