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.

Clay just wants to get home. Six years ago, he moved to New York
City after his wife and daughters were killed in a horrible
automobile accident, and now, the day after Hurricane Sandy
devastates the city and the tri-state area, Clay sets out on foot
to escape both the city, and the prison of his old life there. What
Clay discovers on his epic walk to freedom, will change
everything... for everyone... forever. W1CK is a stand-alone
pre-apocalyptic thriller that sets the stage for the apocalyptic
social, economic, and structural collapse of Western Civilization
that leads us, 20 years later, into the events of Michael Bunker's
thriller - The Last Pilgrims. The Cold War is about to get Hot, and
sometimes just saying 'NO' is a revolutionary act...
...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

This is the complete Omnibus paperback edition of the Pennsylvania
novel - which includes in one title all five books of the
Pennsylvania series. 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.
"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... ... Jedidiah Troyer just wants to start a farm
and homestead on some affordable land in a new Amish community,
