Holding Their Own 05 - The Alpha Chronicles

Word of Alpha's recovery

spreads throughout the region. The news is welcomed by most - but not

all. Some see the small Texas town as a threat, others want to dominate

the prosperous community. Often, it's difficult to discern friend from

foe, and miscommunication can be deadly. The legendary range wars of the

early American West were brutal, bloody affairs. Water was often an

excuse for the skirmishes, but rarely was it the true root of conflict.

Political competition, an unquenchable thirst for power, and poor

communications were the real catalysts for these violent struggles. In

the post-apocalyptic world of Bishop and Terri, circumstances are ripe

for history to repeat. Electricity replaces water as the point of

contention, the new world on the brink of falling into violent chaos,

just like in the past. The issues run in tandem, human nature apparently

unchanged in 200 years. Join the citizens of post-collapse West Texas

as they struggle to rebuild and improve their lives. It's a journey

filled with the joy of success and fraught with the peril of defeat.
