“Chris Pourteau has taken the world of Pennsylvania and given it the life, texture, and action of the best war epics, while filling that world with humanity, humor, and vivid characters you'll never forget. As good or better than the original.” — Michael Bunker, author of Pennsylvania Omnibus and Brother, Frankenstein \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ In Michael Bunker’s Pennsylvania, Jedidiah Troyer becomes the hero of TRACE’s fight against the Transport Authority. But even before Jed’s adventure begins, the Second War for Pennsylvanian Independence has raged for a generation. Gettysburg is one tale of that long and bitter struggle. When we join them in their fight, the forces of TRACE are running out of time. Severely outmanned and outgunned, they know that if they can’t find a way to level the playing field with Transport—and soon—defeat is inevitable. Fate presents them a chance to turn the tide of war. A large supply of Transport’s okcillium—the all-important material powering laser weapons and other military technology—sits largely unguarded in a small town between the AZ and the City. That town’s name is Gettysburg. But fortune rarely allows history to be made so easily. Tactics, heroics, and bloody slaughter are once again the order of the day as Bestimmung Company sets out to seize their prize. In this small town with a famous name, the soldiers of B Company are about to discover that history has a way of repeating itself.

The Battle of Gettysburg is behind them, and not without great cost. Now Capt. Mary Brenneman and Bestimmung Company face a threat that could wipe out the entire TRACE network in New Pennsylvania. Regular food shipments from the Amish Zone have suddenly gone missing. Without those supplies, TRACE soldiers will starve, and the war with Transport will surely be lost. Who took the food and why? The clock is ticking, and it won’t be long before the resistance goes from short rations to starving bellies. Mary and Alpha Squad must deal with the thieves, recover the supplies, and battle Transport in a daring raid in the City to prevent the destruction of TRACE. Come join B Company for this unforgettable ride on the Susquehanna!

Mary Brenneman is held prisoner following the raid on the Authority’s Armory. A furious Transport cracks down on every sector of society in a desperate attempt to regain control of New Pennsylvania. Airbus loads of prisoners are shipped to the Detention Center in Columbia (aka the City) for incarceration. Ignoring orders, Hatch and Stug go AWOL and infiltrate Columbia to rescue Mary. TRACE commandos follow hot on their heels to bring them back to face court-martial for desertion. And rumors of a Final Solution to TRACE’s insurgency spread like wildfire—rumors that point to an okcillium bomb meant to level the City and vaporize everyone in it. In this third tale of Bestimmung Company, loyalties will be tested. Heroes will fall. And new blood will join the fight.
