Not one of the better books in this series that I have read. I guess after 100+ books, you hit a bump in the road from time to time. This is book #114. It has the companions under attack by muties when we start out. They make there way to the mat-trans and end up in Heaven Falls. A paradise in the Death Lands. They are welcomed with open arms. Soon the Deathlanders are fitting into a society with no weapons or violence. Once we get to Heaven Falls, this sort of falls apart.

Chapter after chapter we are told how they are adapting with the locals. They work jobs and think of building a future there. This goes on and on. Chapter after chapter. No action at all. Finally this kicks in to gear when it's just about over. Not too bad, just a bit tedious.

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. This was my first Deathlands book. The story seemed like an episode of Star Trek. I enjoyed the story and would recommend it as a quick read. *update* "Siren Song" is number 114 in the Deathlands series published by Harlequin under the Gold Eagle Imprint. I picked this up at my local Kmart, and as the cashier noticed, the cover seems like an episode of "The Walking Dead." But, this story is insane. The crew of Companions arrive in a new redoubt via the mat-trans, a matter transporter. Moments aft This was my first Deathlands book. The story seemed like an episode of Star Trek.

I picked this up at my local Kmart, and as the cashier noticed, the cover seems like an episode of "The Walking Dead." But, this story is insane. The crew of Companions arrive in a new redoubt via the mat-trans, a matter transporter. Moments after arriving, a bomb goes off damaging the mat-trans. Stranded for the time being, the group discovers a local ville run by a Queen and her super-solider female warriors. Turns out the ville is the site of a nuclear blast during the Dark Night and everything is irradiated. Local bees harvest pollen and make honey that is slowly mutating everyone into bee-hybrids. The crew, save one, falls under the spell and allure of this new found paradise. Of course, once the truth is uncovered, the ville must fall. I felt a little lost with this book. I followed the overall plot fine and was highly engaged throughout. However, there was backstory I missed out in previous books that I think would have fleshed the characters out more. The new slang in the series (Dark Night, chill, blasters, ville, barons) wasn't too difficult to grasp. I look forward to the next book in the series, "Hanging Judge." It's out March 2014, so I should be able to pick it up at my next Kmart run.

As is usually the case with idyllic communities in SF novels, Ryan and his gang discover that Heaven Falls has a dark secret. It's an entertaining, if familiar tale of mind control and the paranoia of all your friends changing around you. Slow moving but finishes with a good firery action climax. A middle range entry into the series. As is usually the case with idyllic communities in SF novels, Ryan and his gang discover that Heaven Falls has a dark secret.

Mostly an excuse for violence. The story would have been better if I had not seen a similar one on the original Star Trek.
