***This novella includes the first part of the first novel of The Last Pilgrims series***
Michael Bunker - author of the national bestselling book Surviving Off Off-Grid is back with his groundbreaking new fiction series The Last Pilgrims. This novella is just a part of that first novel, and introduces us to The Last Pilgrims saga...
It is 20 years after the collapse, and the Vallenses (an Amish-like "plain people") living and surviving in Central Texas are under attack by the evil King of Aztlan and his armies. The pacifistic Vallenses are defended by the shadowy Ghost militia and their inspiring leader Phillip - the Ghost - a militant freeman who wages a guerilla war with Aztlan.
Jonathan, Phillip's oldest friend and the leader of the Vallenses, must lead his people through the dangerous realities of this new world order, while trying to maintain the beliefs and identity of this peaceful people that are slated for destruction by their enemies.
The Last Pilgrims takes history, and casts it into the future, while examining that future in light of the past.
"Fantastic writing... excellent, well-crafted and imaginative... It is rare that someone has such aptitude to interweave so many elements into their work, that it not only conveys a very important message, but it is also a true pleasure to read. Your well-developed characters, the really well considered plot, timing and flow of narrative have really helped in creating a true masterpiece. You really made me stop and think about a life that is possibly lurking not far in the future, when having almost instant access to people, places and material possessions would be impossible. - Natasha
"I'm HOOKED! -William
"You are making this too good. I'm almost in despair that each chapter end forces me to wait before I get more story. It's like waiting for next week's installment of LOST..." -Ryan
"Wow, I was on the edge of my seat for the whole battle! I think it just keeps getting better." - Roger
"Every chapter I read becomes my new favorite! It was very interesting to get such a personal account of what happened after the crash... I think The Last Pilgrims will help more people see the error in their belief that they can "wait it out" until things get back to normal." - Joleen
