...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... Jedediah 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 1 is a short story, 16,500 words (about eighty eight pages,) and it is the first in the Pennsylvania series which is a five part collection that makes up the Pennsylvania novel. The completed novel (Omnibus) is now available on Amazon.com: amzn.to/1fAdHkr
