Title: The Marauders
Author: Michael McGann
Cover artist: Uncredited
Yours for: $6
- Countdown to a gay porn movie shoot in 5, 4, 3 ...
- Russell Crowe, Joe Piscopo, Some Weasel Face, Eric Roberts, Lorenzo Lamas, and ... That Bald Asian Guy are ... The Marauders!
- If you think those guns aren't cock substitutes, just check out how bachelor #3 is holding his. He's stroking its balls / presenting it to you on a platter / begging you to admire it.
- "We used to have shirts, but our bodies were so hot they just burned away. Now all we wear is this fire-retardant kevlar stuff. Marauders!"
- I want one of these patches to sew onto my ... I'm gonna say 'underwear.'
- "From the Creators [plural] of The Guardians" ... and yet it's written by Michael McGann [singular]. One shape-shifting, multiple-personalitied, gun- and gay-porn-loving guy.
- After a nuclear war, wouldn't these guys be a little ... anti-climactic, actually.
- Nothing.
- KGB Chairman, ha ha! Good call, 1989. Way to predict the fyooture.
- "There's a first time for everything—especially death" is an unintentionally great line. Pearls of wisdom, compliments of ... The Marauders!

The two men walked out of the car. Jack looked over his shoulder. "Buddha? Can you loan me your rifle for a moment?"
In case you were wondering what they were gonna call That Bald Asian Guy. Now you know.

It's a little know, but absolutely true, fact that shirt buttons are the first victims of Nuclear Armageddon. The little bastards melt at the merest sniff of a nuclear bomb. You may laugh at his predicitons of the fyooture, but he's got some of his facts straigh.
I can already hear the Eighties techno music playing over the opening credits of the straight-to-video movie of The Mauraders.
If he needs petrol so badly, what the hell is his army "racing across England" to get to the North Sea for?!?!
Everything about that cover just screams 80s. The artist appears to be doing a really bad Michael Whelan imitation.
While looking to see if I could find the artist's name, I learned that they cranked out 7 of these between 1989 and 1991. It's the last gasp of late 80s post-apocalyptic war porn.
I read this novel as a 9 year old, back in 94 we didn't have cable and TV didn't start until 4pm so this was one of many books I read. Funniest memory from this was "Sunnovabitch" which was used a lot.I actually asked my mum what a "sunnovabitch" was, lol. In all its barely 200 pages and I believe was to have a sequel which I never read. To be honest I actually enjoyed reading "The Marauders"
