Customer Reviews

Product of a bygone age

This book was published back in the 1980's under the 'mens adventure' category. It is pretty light reading, but it provides a good source of entertainment about an interesting scenario (post nuclear world).In short, something to read and enjoy and not take too seriously.If you like books about war that you don't have to take too seriously then scout one of these aging paperbacks out.

Post-nuclear action galore!

This is for the people who love good old action/adventure with great characters. The small group of guardians are formed after WWIII breaks out and it is a fun read, and pretty damn believable.

Escapist fantasy, nothing more, nothing less

I have read every book in the series, a number of times. It is not high literature, it isn't meant to be. It is a fast paced series with gratuitous amounts of violence and a fair amount of sex. If you like books that don't require a lot of thought, then give it a try.

A fair book

This story takes place 2 months after the One-Day War. The Guardians are searching out for the agricultural specialist to finish Blueprint for Renewal. The Guardians encounter bands of marauding thugs and Russian saboteurs that are coming down from the Russian held state of Alaska.
