Horror and Hope in the 21st Century

Emerging from a gateway into the snowy barrens of the Colorado Rockies, Ryan Cawdor and his warrier group are forced to strike a deal for survival. This part of white hell is controlled by Baron Nelson, a grief-ridden widower burning for vengeance against the hired killers who murdered his boy.

Not far from Nelson's barony lies Yuma, a nasty hellhole every badman in the Rockies calls home. Ryan, Doc and J. B. Dix begin a perilous journey across desolate mountains to Yuma to capture and deliver the boy's killers back to the baron. The odds are not good: If the mutant grizzlies and raving marauders don't get them, the sadistic guntoughs in the Yuma will.

In the Deathlands, survival is a gamble. Death is the only sure bet.
