Welcome to nowhere.

Nox, the Coilhunter, wakes up in unfamiliar territory, victim of a deranged man who claims he's from another world, and who's building an army of slaves to help him get back there.

The eccentric bounty hunter must face off the wild of the desert and the wild in men, all the while trying to piece together what happened from his fractured memory.

Some go to the Lostlands to find themselves, but the Coilhunter is on the hunt for the true Lostlander: the Man with the Silver Mane. Folk say those Magi are lost without their magic, but Nox has long found his own kind of mojo in his gadgets and his guns.

This is a standalone book in the Coilhunter Chronicles series, which can be read in any order.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome

I just love this series! "Lostlander" involves one of my favorite support chatacters, Porridge, and we get to learn a little more about this lovable but mysterious man. Best to have read "Dustrunner" first before reading this one, though. Actually, I don't think the 'Chronicle' lends itself well to reading out of sequence because of character evolution, and familiarity with another terrific series of Dean Wilson's, 'The Great Iron War', might give nice timeline references and "faces" to names that Nox and Porridge reflect on herein. That being said, another fabulous telling from Dean Wilson! Totally awesome, but a touch sad at the end, like its predecessors. I've really become invested in Nox. Can't wait for the next adventure!

Again, this is not my type of story, but that does not mean the writing is bad. I paid for the story, and I try not to waste the money by not reading it. For people who enjoy dystopian stories, this would make them sit up and take notice. The writing is tight. The main characters are memorable and believable, The ending is satisfactory. What more can you ask of a story or it's teller.

Folk say that these are some damn good books. Folk say Dean Wilson is a damn good author. Folk say these are some weird stories. Folk say a lot of things. I say that this book, like all the Coilhunter books, are fun to read. They are corny, hoakey, and downright ridiculous, but Wilson makes it work. After ready a lot of military sci-fi books in a row it’s kinda nice to take a break with something so crazy entertaining. Don’t know about an Irishman writing books that are undoubtedly based on the American Old West, but I’ll overlook that. Just keep writing them.

I’ve enjoyed the Coilhunter Chronicles stories for some time now. This one left something to be desired though. The protagonist was a mystical outsider, separate from the normal wild north characters we’ve come to expect. I’d rather the author stayed within Nox’s world and expanded on the on-going war between the Iron Emperor and the Resistance. It’s past time for Nox to become more than just a hidden participant in the Resistance.

3.0 out of 5 stars Coilhunter Loses Some of His Luster
Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2019

The fourth book in the Coilhunter series might have had promise, but it couldn’t hold up to the challenge of being another entertaining book in this multi-book saga. Here’s why:

None of the books in author Dean F. Wilson’s series are particularly well-written, but what they do have is charm. There is a playful adventurous in the way he describes the action. Most of all, the tongue-in-cheek names for all the colorful characters are, to me, a major piece in why the first three Coilhunter books worked and this one didn’t. All the names are alliterations – Hammerback Harry, Rustbucket Riley, Buckhorn Bobby – and their back stories are usually something to look forward to.

Unfortunately, this important piece has been shunted into the corner for this book, and the few times it is allowed out, the pacing seems rushed. It is almost as if the author wished to get the explanations out of the way so he could go back to the story. For the world Mr. Wilson has created, however, the inhabitants ARE the story. It seems he forgot that in this recent book.

This leaves the interactions primarily between the Coilhunter (NOX), Oakley, and Porridge. Porridge is a one-dimensional character that overstayed his welcome in the book, yet the author carried the annoying pattern of speech (Porridge calls even fruit and vegetable names – cabbage, peach, plum, etc.) all the way to the last chapter. Oakley came on too late to save the book, which left NOX with little to interact with, almost making him a caricature of himself.

I was a fan of this series, but the change of style exposed some of the grammar issues that were easier to overlook when I felt entertained. I am sure that Mr. Wilson’s fans will like this book, but for me, it became tedious and a chore to get to the last page. Three stars.

If you are in the mood for a nice slow, relaxing book that will not keep you on knifes edge, then do NOT read this one!! Action tempered with dare doing feats and then some more action just to sweeten the pot. Nice seeing old friends working together once more and defeating the unbeatable. Glad the Duck found his creator in the end. This series is a very unusual and well worth the read.

If you read this series or just the first book, Nox needs a break, not just any break but an honest to God vacation. This guys mission is endless and surprise he has a soft spot for the down trodden. Good series and it's like a cross between Louis Lamore and Salvador Dali , feel like I'm reading Carlos Castaneda and it's 1970 again.

I love this series. I initially thought the Coilhunter as a mix of 'Dirty Harry and Mad Max', but I now think there are elements of Stephen King's Gunslinger (Dark Tower series) in there too.

This time, Nox awakens to find himself missing memories but having flashbacks of a silver haired man and wearing a strange metal collar. So starts an adventure to clear his memory and free not just himself, but others he encounters along the way. As is the case with this series, there are the usual inventive ways of getting out out sticky situations, and an old favourite Porridge makes a welcome appearance, keeping things entertaining when they could be becoming just that shade too serious. There are also mentions towards the authors other incredible series 'The Iron War', reminding us that Nox has been involved in more than just Coilhunting in his past. For Nox, it seems that no matter how many people he sets free he can never truly be free himself and is but a prisoner of his own making and this comes across perfectly in this story.

One for fans of Sci-fi, Steampunk and Westerns or for people who want something different.

Once again Mr Wilson rolls out a cracking story, with nox and a couple of other well known characters, going against a new protagonist. I just did not want to put the book down, as usual.
Well done Mr Wilson.
