Our Fearsome Heroes

About The Book:

The year is 1850 in Bangor, Maine. Fearsome critters, bizarre creatures living the Maine wilderness, co-existed with regular animals and humans. That is until one night…

A group of Sidehill Gougers, lonesome critters that live in the mountains of Maine, attack a small town located in the woods, killing everyone. There is only one survivor of this brutal attack. William, a fifteen year old boy, flees into the woods after the gougers left to meet his friend in the woods…

Paul Bunyan, a lumberjack who is recluse in the woods along with his pet Babe, finds William huddled near the fireplace in his cabin. William recounts the horrible attack to Paul. Paul has a feeling that something is off. With that, Paul and William set off to find his brother Cordwood Pete…

Telling Cordwood what he fears is going to be multiple attacks from fearsome critters, Paul and Cordwood set off to form a alliance with other warriors. John Henry, Pecos Bill, Alfred Stormalong, and Kiviuq join the team to find out what caused the attack. Are there going to be more attacks? If there will be more savage attacks, will the heroes be able to save Maine or will Maine succumb to the fearsome critters?
