Synopsis: An Amish man wants to start a life in Pennsylvania, New Pennsylvania actually which is on a planet many light years away. He wants to start a family and grow crops in a new Amish community. He will be frozen and awoken once he gets to the new planet. One stipulation is that he can never come home. He has family planning to join him once he is established but things do not go quite as planned. He arrives in New Pennsylvania but nothing is as it should be. Right from the start of his arrival he is running for his life.
My review: This is not a book yet, at this point it is a short story. The ending is abrupt and is definitely meant to have additional parts added to it. Michael Bunker is currently working on Pennsylvania 2 and as far as I am concerned he cannot write it fast enough. I have never read a book quite like this, Amish SciFi, what a concept. I loved all the characters so far and cannot wait to see how the story continues. I have a feeling he will release all these Pennsylvania stories as one book eventually which even at this early stage I feel its how it should be read. With only this part of the book we barely have a story, what we have is the start of a story, but a great story so far.
My rating: 9
