“I am named after the great Peace Maker of Kallimos; the woman who stood before the angry mob and helped them remember reason and compassion… Emma shifted in her seat. The contrast grated on her. She was named for a brave and mighty woman but what had she done, what would she ever be allowed to do, that could measure up to her namesake?”

For Eron, the GRID provides everything he yearns for, everything he lost in the Fall — comfort, security, diversion, privilege, power, and… revenge.

For Emma, healer and post-rider of the Eden Underground, the GRID represents a menacing threat to her family and the sanctuary that took them in. Despite flourishing “off-the-GRID,” Emma and the Tribes of Eden recognize that humanity’s only hope lies in the hands of its elders. Without guns or technology they must fight back with the only weapons they possess — stories, memories and wisdom. For without a past, there is no future.

What People Are Saying

“With Tribes of Eden Bill has written classic tale of good and evil built on a solid, substantial world where elders are woven into the everyday fabric of life, valued for their experience, knowledge and wisdom – a story that needs to be repeated far and wide.
Most of all, the book is a load of fun, a page turner that will leave you thinking about it long after you have finished.” — Ronni Bennett, TimeGoesBy.net

“Themes like trust, community and wisdom might not sound thrilling on the surface. But mix them with a post-apocalyptic scenario of tyranny, totalitarian power and a fight to restore humanity and you’ve got a book that destroys stereotypes faster than “The Hunger Games” breaks box office records.” — Stuart Greenbaum, Eskaton
