This is a good book and was an enjoyable read. The ONLY issue I have is the Author(s) sometimes repeat the same background stuff , about the characters, too much from book to book.

Needs a new editor!, Oct 12 2011
By S. R. Hoover "Christ's daughter" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Perception Fault (Mass Market Paperback)
There are some tantalizing ideas in this book, such as Denver with almost pre-apocalyptic conditions and the "under the airport" base. Yet, none of these ideas are fully developed, and the grammar is the absolute worst in any Deathlands book ever! The author obviously tried to tie several elements into one grand denouement: blue-faced Native Americans, stickies with controlling collars, advanced society remnants in one area along with a budding civilization in another, all under attack by Tellen, apparently one man with grand designs. While intriguing, Denver's foundation is never really explained; provided hints are only suitable as a teaser for an upcoming series. The scientific group "under the airport" are so barely revealed as to be useless. We are left wondering where they actually came from, how many of them exist, why they want to meet the Denverites, what they offer to Denver...or the story. Everyone involved in this tale, with the obvious exception of Tellen who wants to rule Denver, are so civic-minded that one wonders if they are even members of Deathlands. They certainly don't reflect any of the characterizations that we have grown to know. As if the glaring failures in development weren't bad enough, the writing in this book is a grammarian's nightmare. This author invented words (Whuffling" in pain) and was inconsistent in so many places that I quit trying to keep track. One example: "interspersed with a sustained roar" page 57). Okay, author, if it's sustained it's not "interspersing" anything!! And oh, by the way, 0600 is 6:00 a.m., as in the morning, not dinner time. That would be 1800! (Page 95). And "has been failures"? (Page 105) It is one thing for the characters to create words or expressions and use poor English; it is another for the story teller. I have collected all 100 of the Deathlands books, and will more than likely, continue to do so for a while longer. While I enjoy the post-apocalyptic tales and visions of what could be the varied types of futures for different parts of the world, I never expect top-notch plot-development or error-free grammar, but this book makes me yearn to contact the publisher who obviously has an opening for a good editor!
