W.R. Benton - Eagle People: Eagle Series 01

2414 and it's all gone. No more electric grid, nor government, or Presidents... just tribes, regional packs of survivors who make their way in a devastated America ripped apart by a second bitter Civil War.

In a time of struggle and strife, only the vigilant survive, and The Eagle People must compete with their neighbors, The Mountain People and The Wolf Clan for every life-preserving resource. Horses, bows and hatchets have replaced the ammo-less assault rifles and worthless cars. Defending their hunting grounds with their rudimentary weapons means The Eagle People stand a chance, losing them means tribal extinction.

Until now the Eagle People had some advantages - access to the sacred Books of Knowledge, culled from the blacked ruins of once great book houses. With these books, their 'Learned Ones' are slowly discovering long-forgotten skills and tools. When the Wolf Clan suddenly discovers a new terrifying weapon, the pistol, things change. Though few in number, The Wolf Clan uses their advantage to attack and enslave The Eagle People, igniting a new war and disturbing the fragile balance of power in the neighboring tribes.
