    About this audiobook

    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.

      Don't let the fact that this book is based off of a RPG game discourage you from reading it. If you do, you will only be denying yourself a most epic read. While it is a bit of a long read, this book is NOT boring in anyway, shape, or form. There is plenty adventure, great dialog, and character development within the pages to keep you going until the very last page. I developed a deep fondness of the two main characters (Grey and Looks Away). They are strong characters, and can totally stand on their own two feet, but together, they are a dynamic duo with the best freaking conversations. This book was lively, exciting, and so enjoyable to me, that I am bitter it had to end. It deserves all the five stars I'm giving it. I will make a spot for this on my bookshelf. Everyone deserves to read this superb tale.

      Review copyJonathan Maberry is a New York Times bestselling and multiple Bram Stoker Award-winning author. Probably best known for his Joe Ledger novels and for his award-winning YA Rot & Ruin series. He currently resides in Del Mar, California and you can find him online at jonathanmaberry.com.Deadlands: Ghostwalkers is the first in a thrilling series of novels based on Deadlands, a hugely successful role-playing game (RPG) set in the Weird, Weird West.Jonathan Maberry can spin a yarn with the best of them. This tale starts with "One man on foot trying to escape six on horseback in a country that was made for dying." This is where Grey Torrance makes the acquaintance of Thomas Looks Away, a member of the Sioux nation who spent a good number of years in England making for an interesting amalgamation of what you see and what you hear.Deadlands: Ghostwalkers features mad scientists as well as dark, unnatural forces. The Great Quake of 1868 has shattered California into a labyrinth of sea-flooded caverns and has lead to the discovery of a mysterious substance called "ghost rock" which fuels exotic steampunk inventions as well as well as a new breed of super weapons. By the way, a side affect of exploding "ghost rock" is having the recently dead become "undead."There are more surprises in Deadlands: Ghostwalkers and I'll leave them for the reader to discover.There were a few times where the story did drag just a bit, but overall, the key word for this book is FUN. A pure, unadulterated good time.Deadlands: Ghostwalkers will be published on September 22, 2015 in paperback, e-book and audible formats.Definitely recommended.
