The Republic of Cedar Key - Paperback

by Michael Presley Bobbitt (Author)

The Republic of Cedar Key is the standalone final chapter in the award winning Cedar Key trilogy, described by Kirkus Reviews as, "A propulsive, character-driven post-apocalyptic ride... a brutal tale of survival with a refreshingly kaleidoscopic perspective.

Independent Book Reviews calls it, "A touching end of the world story filled with hope and beauty."

Twenty-five years have passed since the fall of man. During this time, the world has slid into a pre-industrial version of itself. On the tiny island of Cedar Key, a close-knit community leans on each other and lessons from their ancestors to survive in a world set against them. On a chilly February morning, a thousand man army arrives at the island's shore, claiming to represent the reconstituted American government. New mayor Luke Buck must decide whether to submit to the army's control or make a stand for self-determination and lead the resistance.

A literary fiction exploration of Southern culture, survival, and the essential need for human beings to live in true community with one another.
