This is the complete WICK Omnibus Edition. ""Michael Bunker goes way beyond writing a popular thriller: he clearly has a literary agenda, making the W1CK series so rich and so deep you could analyse each and every page and write a whole book about it. I guess you'd have to call it W1CK1P3D1A."" Max Zaoui, Everyone's a Critic Reviews In WICK 1... a man walked out of New York City after Hurricane Sandy and fell off the edge of the earth... In WICK 2: Charm School... a mysterious town explodes in violence and America is dealt a deadly blow... In WICK 3: Exodus... the world is without power. You are on foot and have no home. Any stranger you meet may kill you... and normal is never coming back. In WICK 4: One Word of Truth... Weeks after the world has been crippled by massive EMP attacks, nuclear weapons are used on major cities, and survivors grapple with a changed world that may never be the same again.

Jedediah Troyer just wants to start a farm and homestead on some affordable land in an Amish community, but...what if the only good, cheap, available land is on another planet? So now Jed has signed up for an emigration program that is intent on colonizing the distant planet of New Pennsylvania. He faces a despotic government agency at war with rebels, the caprices of interstellar travel, a shadowy futuristic insurgency on his new planet, and more mysteries than he can count as he tries to fulfill his dream of owning his own farm. Space pioneering isn't as easy as it sounds when you're "plain." Things might work out for Jed...if he can ever get to his new home.

Dr. Chris Alexander, a borderline sociopath and technological genius, has designed an advanced cybernetic life form from prototype decommissioned military drones and top-secret experimental DARPA technology. The HADroid was supposed to be a military grade robot with the transplanted heart and brain of a human donor that would "transform" into a devastating state of the art war machine when activated by its onboard human operator. But when the mad doctor steals the dying child of a simple Amish couple and transplants the brain and cardiovascular system of their dying eleven year old autistic son into the incredibly lethal robot the dark forces of government come looking for their investment.

Western Society is in confusion, the industrial world is teetering on collapse, and it looks like things could get worse. Agrarian Blogger, historian, and "plain" preacher Michael Bunker has been living off of the grid for many years, and he has some advice for those living in the industrial/consumerist economy ...living an off off-grid life is achievable. It has been done for thousands of years, and it can be done today... It is quite possible that many people who have relied on a failing system for their means of survival will very soon find that they have made a mistake of historic proportions. Historic, because every major "classical" culture went down the same road our society is on today. This book is about the lessons we should have learned, and what you can do to survive what history tells us must come next.

...it's freaking fantastic. It is the single funniest, laugh-a-minute Novella that I've ever consumed... ...I cannot remember the last time I had this much fun reading a book... ...NaNoWri War Z - Hugh Howey Must Die is probably the most fun I've had reading in a long time. I was very skeptical about another Zombie book, but curious. I laughed out loud .. ...It is an instant satire classic... ..".That's right, Mr. Howey. If you don't help us, why... we'll turn into another France, and no one wants that. England will just be another place where American and German authors holiday to write good books. We'd be a laughingstock, and I for one won't allow it." "I agree, sir," Hugh responded, nodding. "Will you help us not be France, Hugh Howey?" "I will, sir." ***** #NaNoWriWee, the challenge to write a short novel or novelette in thirty hours is underway in London England, and the challenge just happens to coincide with a visit by Bestselling Author of The COTTON Omnibus, Hugh Howey, who is on a book tour in the city. At the same time, a government experiment in creating super-soldiers goes awry when a new virus is tested on an a struggling independent writer from Leeds, and now peculiar zombies are on the loose in London and they are only eating good writers. As bad writers struggle to be validated by being eaten by zombies... who refuse to eat them... will England be left without any good writers at all? Will the country become just another France? England needs some heroes, and so does the Book Publishing Industry. In this short book, actually written during #NaNoWriWee (National Novel Writers Weekend) and in under thirty hours, Michael Bunker, mind fried and groggy from too much coffee and not enough sleep, pokes a sharp and funny stick at zombies, the writing culture, mainstream publishing, England, France, and most of all, Piers Morgan. Nothing good or literary can come of spilling out 30,000 words in under 30 hours... we just all hope it is not true that... HUGH HOWEY MUST DIE If you are looking for one of Michael Bunker's usually well-written, thoughtful, philosophical, and poignant books... this ain't it. Try W1CK or Futurity or any of the others. If, however, you want a laugh at what a man comes up with when he's under a deadline and hasn't slept in a few days... this one is for you. ***Hugh Howey's compelling story, name, fictional likeness, and non-fictional awesomeness are used with his permission**

"Pennsylvania is a brilliant tale of extra-planetary colonization. With parallels to the European settlement of the America's, Michael Bunker draws on his Amish roots and lifestyle to portray that tenuous balance between mankind and its machines. He also knows better than most the difficulty of surviving on civilization's frontier. I daresay the wait for the next great Amish science fiction author may be finally at an end." HUGH HOWEY, NYT Bestselling Author of WOOL and Peace in Amber. "You'll quickly go from wondering 'Amish science fiction?' to asking 'Why the heck didn't anyone think of this before?' Fast-paced, intricately plotted, and providing a novel perspective on our own world, Pennsylvania is a refreshingly original take on dystopian sci-fi." DAVID GATEWOOD ...Sensational Brings me back to my youth when I was reading Heinlein and Asimov. The story is great. The premise excellent. Engaging and vivid, I compare it to Tunnel in the Sky, by Robert Heinlein. Bunker...you are on the road to being an author to be reckoned with... ...At first I thought an Amish Sci-Fi adventure sounded a little strange, but after I started reading I couldn't put the book down.... ...Just finished reading this. Must.... have.... more.... ...What a great idea. Amish and Sci-Fi. As strange as it sounds, it works. Boy, does it work... ...The ending snuck up on me, but has since haunted me for days... ...Once again, he's written a book that features an excellent plot and development, containing unforgettable characters and events... ...hook, line, and sinker... ...Bunker is sensational. Excellent story telling. His books bring the characters to life and you end up wanting more... ...
