Pegasus

Pegasus, Book Two of the Outlander Chronicles series, continues with the dystopian, post-apocalyptic themes found in the previous novel. The Phoenix community has finally crossed the Mississippi River, but now is racing the calendar to settle into winter quarters before the fierce Iowa winter strikes. The Anarch threat is thought to have been eliminated by the westward travel. It's an assumption that proves unfounded. Phoenix receives a mixed bag of new additions, personalities whose past histories and current problems create new challenges for the group. Internal conflict spurred by disaster threatens to unravel the fellowship. The Phoenix community must survive another eight hundred miles of dangerous travel—and each other—if they are to reach their Colorado destination.Whereas Book One focused on the coming of age of Jacen Chester, Book Two showcases Jacen's growing leadership skills as he guides the Phoenix community through the difficulties of extreme weather, arduous travel, and unanticipated setbacks.Outlander Chronicles: Pegasus is suitable for readers high-school age and older.
