James Axler Synopses: In the titular (and first) novel of the Earth Blood series, the crew of the Aquila returns from a deep space mission only to find that a plague has ruined the Earth’s supply of food. The crew then sets out on a search for any possible survivors.

The first book in the Deathlands series is Pilgrimage to Hell by James Axler and Jack Adrian. On Inauguration Day in the United States, a 1-megaton blast destroys the Soviet embassy in D.C. Explosions go off around the world, creating what is being called the Deathlands. Now, a group of people are planning to escape what’s left of the USA, the wastes and various mutated lifeforms. The book introduces the characters J.B. Dix, Krysty Wroth and Ryan Cawdor.
