Dr. Chris Alexander, a borderline sociopath and technological genius, has designed an advanced cybernetic life form from prototype decommissioned military drones and top-secret experimental DARPA technology. The HADroid was supposed to be a military grade robot with the transplanted heart and brain of a human donor that would “transform” into a devastating state of the art war machine when activated by its onboard human operator. But when the mad doctor steals the dying child of a simple Amish couple and transplants the brain and cardiovascular system of their dying eleven year old autistic son into the incredibly lethal robot the dark forces of government come looking for their investment. Dr. Alexander and the monster escape into another Amish community to hide among the plain folk while Frank, the autistic eleven year old boy trapped inside the body of the world’s most deadly robot, befriends another child who will help the prisoner inside the machine to leave the world of autism and understand what it means to be human and Amish. But tensions arise among the plain and pacifistic yet closed minded Amish as they begin to suspect just what kind of technological monstrosity is hiding among them, and before long hard men who do the government’s most dirty deeds will come looking for a killing machine only to find a boy named Frank who has the power to defend a closed society from the worst of the world. **Review "Brother, Frank is Michael Bunker at his best. He just keeps getting better." ~ Ernie Lindsey, USA Today Bestselling Author of Sara's Game and Skynoise. "I just finished beta reading Michael Bunker's new heartbreakingly awesome novel and I have this to say: Hugo Material." ~ Nick Cole, bestselling author of Old Man and the Wasteland and Soda Pop Soldier. "Brother Frank is an exciting new take on a classic with great characters and unique spin. Highly recommended!" ~ Matthew Mather bestselling author of Cyberstorm and Darknet "Brother, Frank finally cements Michael Bunker's position as one of the most interesting and dynamic sci-fi writers emerging from today's vibrant indie scene." ~ Eamon Ambrose, Eamo the Geek Reviews ** "Brother,Frank is Michael Bunker's finest work yet. A novel for both the heartand the brain. The best book I've read this year." ~ David Gatewood,Editor of Synchronic and Tales of Tinfoil "...The tension between technology and agrarian simplicity runs like a bright thread through the work-- those characters on the technology side are affected by the interaction with their (presumed) opposites, and those on the Amish side are changed and tested as well." ~ Richard Gleaves, author of the bestselling Jason Crane series. "...an intriguing and suspenseful novel. I instantly rooted for Frank..." ~ Annelie Wendeberg, bestselling author of the Anna Kronberg thrillers. "Bunker's finest fictional creation to date..." ~ David Bruns, author of Weapons of Mass Deception "...a fantastic story of escape and rediscovery..." ~ E.E.

Every Mother's Son

Harriet and Fletcher Tuke have worked hard to raise their children well. Daniel, the eldest son, has always accepted that his birth father died soon after he was born, and Fletcher has raised Daniel as his own. But as Daniel comes of age and begins to fall in love with childhood friend Beatrice Hart, he can’t help but wonder about his heritage – his olive skin and dark eyes reminding him daily of the difference between him and his siblings, and between his and Beatrice’s families. Meanwhile, shocking truths about Fletcher’s own family line are suddenly brought to the surface, revealing a connection between the two families. Daniel’s wish to learn about his bloodline takes him to Europe, where decisions about his future take shape. But will it be one he can share with Beatrice? And as Harriet hopefully awaits his return back home on the farm, she could never imagine that answers to questions about her own family are also just on the horizon.
