I purchased Pennsylvania for two reasons. First, the concept of Amish settlers on another planet had that perfect 'fish out of water' angle that can often lead to a great adventure tale. Second, I had just finished a bit of a Michael Bunker binge on vacation, having read W1CK Omnibus, The Last Pilgrims and Futurity - I needed more.What I found in Pennsylvania was exactly what I had come to expect from Mr. Bunker's work. Great characters, a fantastic story and enough twists and turns to keep you guessing - and turning the pages! (Although I'm not sure if I ever could have predicted how an Amish sci-fi story would turn out.) Along the way, you get re-exposed to many of the themes that underlie Mr. Bunker's work: the dangers of technology worship, the value of work close to the land and the tendency for all governments to drift toward power and tyranny.This is a page-turner that sets up a compelling story and ends on a cliff-hanger that had me immediately clicking "Buy" for part two.
