Order of Deathlands Books
The Deathlands series is an action-adventure/science fiction series by James Axler. The series is set in a post-apocalyptic United States. Very few survived, and many who did were horribly mutated. A group of survivors led by Ryan Cawdor planning to escape the barren wasteland, meanwhile encountering terrifying mutated lifeforms and other beings with their own agendas. The series is followed up by the Outlanders series.
The Deathlands series began in 1986 with the novel Pilgrimage to Hell, which was started by Jack Adrian. Adrian fell ill in the middle of writing the novel and it was completed by Laurence James, who would take on the pen name James Axler. Since then, other several authors have taken over the house name. The series is currently ongoing, with four new novels being published in the series per year. Below is a list of James Axler’s Deathlands books in order of when they were originally published (as well as in chronological order):
