Three years ago, the Legendarium, a metaphysical library at the nexus of the multiverse in which is stored every book ever written in the history of the world, was threatened with utter destruction, but two unlikely and unqualified heroes stood up to save it. Or... maybe they saved it on accident. In any case, they were given credit for saving it. Now, a new old enemy rises and threatens reality itself, and, as improbable as it sounds, only Bombo Dawson and Alistair Foley can stop it. Can these two frenemies manage to work together again to save the Legendarium a second time? Or, will the world be cast into a dystopian nightmare from which it may never recover? Find out in... Legendarium: The Wrath of Bob.

The Wrath of Bob

Legendarium

Nick Cole

Michael Bunker (Pennsylvania) and Nick Cole (The Old Man and The Wasteland ) bring you a gritty tale of survival in the Post Apocalyptic West Texas Badlands where towns have become abandoned wastelands and packs of feral, cannibalistic humans, made so by a diet pill called Slenderex, devour anything and anyone they can find in search of protein. A band of children, led by a boy becoming a man, make their stand against a rising tide of humans gone feral, greedy precious metal pirates and psychotic roving biker gangs to forge a home for themselves atop a hidden valley. But when a Man in Black simply known as Mayhem arrives in the badlands, Ellis and his small "family" of orphans and lost children will have to go underground into the depths of a mysterious system of tunnels to fight back and survive. Lord of the Flies meets Mad Max beneath the burnt wastelands of Texas after the Apocalypse.

Tunnel Rats

"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, but... what if the only good, cheap, available land was 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 short story, 16,500 words (about forty five pages, ) and it is the first in the planned Pennsylvania series which is intended to be a five part collection that will eventually make up the Pennsylvania novel.

One Word of Truth

Wick 4

Leah is a picker. Her job is to sift through the refuse and waste of the silo and sort it for recycling. She enjoys making homemade paper and writing stories, but she just happens to live in an underground silo full of mysteries, in a dystopian world that has been destroyed by mankind, and the two things that she loves to do most in the world are both illegal. After being arrested for illegally producing paper for the distribution of banned materials, she is thrust into the shadowy world of SAMIZDAT -- a league of dissident literary rebels who publish illegal books in the silo. THE SILO ARCHIPELAGO is a thrilling novel that takes place in the world of Hugh Howey's bestselling WOOL saga. Written with Hugh's permission, The Silo Archipelago examines the issues of control, tyranny, and censorship through the lens of history. Throughout time, dissident writers have used paper and words as weapons of war against both governments and really bad ideas. The Silo Archipelago, in the spirit of A Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovitch and The Gulag Archipelago, examines what would happen if there were literary dissidents in the silos of Hugh Howey's WOOL.

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.

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 compelling story, name, fictional likeness, and non-fictional awesomeness are used with his permission**
