The action and adventure continues with
Gold Eagle Books'

November 2010 releases!

A war for survival in a future
that should not exist...

“Something’s wrong here.”



“Yeah. I feel it, too,” Jak said, a concealed knife dropping into his hand from his sleeve.


“Better stay in the mat-trans,” Ryan said. “If we come back with a droid on us, we’ll need backup.”


Turning away, he saw that J.B. was already at the oval hatch, looking for traps.


“Clear,” the Armorer reported.


“Okay, friends, triple red.” SIG-Sauer at the ready, the one-eyed man pressed down the lever and the hatch swung open silently. Then with a snarl, Ryan instantly stepped backward, dropping into a crouch.


In the next room, several men in Navy uniforms operated the controls of the humming comps….

Available November 9th, 2010, wherever books are sold.

A Struggle for survival in a savage new world...

The deal was on the table.

“Come along with us to Cascade. Lend a blaster if there’s any chilling to be done on the way. The healer helps patch any wounds, and talks to the old-timers, and the six of you get a fair share of every trade I make,” Roberto stated.

Having done something similar a hundred times before during his years traveling with the Trader, Ryan was impressed. It was a fair offer. And the chance to see a predark city. Ryan got a flutter of excitement in his guts. He glanced at the others. Were they interested? Hell yeah.

“Deal,” Ryan said, offering a hand.

Looking coolly at the man he had wanted to ace only a few hours earlier, Roberto marveled at the strange complexities of life. Friends became enemies, and enemies became friends, often in less time than it took to load a blaster.

“Done, and done,” he growled, and they shook.

Look for Eden's Twilight, available June 9, wherever books are sold.

A struggle for survival in a new dark age...

The piles of corpses and severed hearts grew.

Realizing what was coming, the slaves struggled futilely with their bonds, weeping and begging their captors for mercy.

All but the companions.

Jak, Krysty, Mildred, Doc, and J.B. were staring at Ryan. Their fixed, defiant expressions all said the same thing: we’re not going to check out like that. Not like chickens on the chopping block.

The one-eyed warrior nodded in agreement, then he looked away. If they couldn’t escape, they could do the next best thing. They could take out as many of the bastards as possible before they were cut down.

Ryan Cawdor withdrew deep into the core of his being, shutting out the grisly sights and sounds around him. He wasn’t preparing himself to die, he was preparing to fight and chill to his last ounce of strength. To expend it all, here, now. And when that strength was gone, death could nukin’ well have him, ready or not. It took only a moment for him to make the attitude shift. It was like a gate swinging open.

And when it was done, Ryan felt a sense of freedom and power.

Look for Dark Resurrection March 10. Available wherever books are sold.

In the Deathlands, the future could always be worse. Now it is...Look for Plague Lords available Dec 9.

“This could change all our lives for the better,”
Mildred said.

“If there’s another world out there, an unnuked world,
maybe we wouldn’t want to come back.”

“Mebbe you wouldn’t want to come back,” Krysty said.

“If you’ve got big love in your heart for Deathlands
because you were born here, that’s your business,”
Mildred told her. “From what I’ve seen, I’d say all the
hellscape does is kick our asses.”

“And what if the captain isn’t telling us the whole truth?”
Krysty said.

“A guy doesn’t survive solo without having some neat
tricks up his sleeve,” J.B. said with confidence.

Ryan held up his hands. “It’s about the devil we know
versus the devil we don’t. The familiar, bad as it is, is
still familiar. We can pretty much reckon how we’re
gonna die. Starvation. Thirst. Gutshot. Ate by some
mutie. I don’t particularly care where I croak or how.”

“So you’re for taking this pipe-dream trip and mebbe
never coming back?” Krysty said, aghast.

Plague Lords is available Dec 9, wherever books are sold.

Flashback: Comic-Con San Diego 2006

Last July Comic-Con International topped the record books with 114,000 individual attendees through the doors (not counting the 9,000 or so exhibitors and their staff!). Gold Eagle was there, sharing a booth with sister companies Luna Books and Silhouette Books. We were amazed at the reach that Comic-Con has with it's fans, growing from a comics convention to a full-blown celebration of pop culture. We gave away free books to get the word out about our novels and got to meet many diehard fans young and old. A few free copies of the first Rogue Angel book got into the hands of folks, though we still don't know where the shipment of 1000 copies we planned to give away went to. We figure that some tropical island somewhere has a pile of boxes on it's beach right now. Plans are underway to return to Comic-Con this summer, so watch this space for details as they become available!


This dude didn't want us to change a thing about Deathlands. We promised we wouldn't as long as he wouldn't hurt us.


Fans grabbing samples at our booth.


These kids came back to our booth every day hoping the Rogue Angel books would ship in. We made it up to them by giving them an author-signed copy of Luna's Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder. This photo was taken two seconds before the brother and sister on the left started wrestling for it.

We found out that books with sharks on the cover are crowd-pleasers.

Aftermath

Still in stores, Aftermath, a trade paperback edition collecting Deathlands: The Mars Arena and Outlanders: Iceblood.

Deathlands: The Mars Arena
Just after the second millennium began, a nuclear firestorm changed the face of the Earth forever. Roaming the devastated landscape of the new America, now known as Deathlands, a small group of men and women who are trying deperately to escape this brutal and lawless world where violence is a means to survival — and power.
In the harsh territory near the Western badlands, Ryan Cawdor and his warrior survivalists embark on a search for the wreck of a crashed space station. But in the ruins of Las Vegas, Ryan becomes the hostage in a bitter conflict between warring barons, and realizes that even his best effort is a huge gamble, with his son's life at stake.

Outlanders: Iceblood
More than two hundred years after a nuclear holocaust all but vaporized America, a new order evolved from the Deathlands to inflict its rule on the fortified cities beyond whos walls are the newly christened Outlands.
Deep in Cerberus redoubt, Kane, a renegade magistrate from the united baronies experiences a shocking mind probe. It imprints him to the other side of the world, with the archivist Brigid and brother-in-arms Grant.
In the heart of Tibet, Kane and his Outlander companions pursue a legend, only to discover they are not alone in their search for the Chintamani Stone. The ancient relic has the power to conduct the final assault on the Earth's destiny... or to destroy the destroyers.

Deathlands: Homeward Bound on SciFi channel

The SciFi Channel recently re-aired their 2003 original tv movie DEATHLANDS: HOMEWARD BOUND. Love it or hate it, it's a surreal experience to see Vincent Spano and Traci Lords (yep- THAT Traci Lords) as our characters on-screen. We'd love to see a reworked weekly Deathlands tv series, ourselves. Anyone else?

Hal Erickson from All Movie Guide covered the original premiere with this: A feature-length pilot for a possible cable TV series, Deathlands: Homeward Bound was inspired by a series of novels and audio-books written by James Axler (actually a joint pseudonym, shared by several prominent science-fiction authors). Sort of a "Mad Max Meets the A-Team," the film is set in a post-apocalyptic future, where crime and destruction is the norm and law-and-order is in the hands of a few courageous mavericks. Vincent Spano stars as justice-fighter Ryan Cawdor, who travels the scorched countryside in his "SecWag," or military security wagon. Cawdor's hearty band of cohorts include his half-mutant girl, an angry Albino teenager, and a geeky weapons specialist called the Armorer. Not surprisingly, the original "Deathlands" book series was incredibly popular with long-distance truck drivers, presumably the audience to whom this ultra-macho thriller is geared.
