Bøger i The Wrathful Empathies serien

A young college student volunteers for a long, hot summer internship at the Great Trail Center in Harpers Ferry WV. His job is to convert over 40 years of shelter journals in various states of decay into digital records. Collected annually from each hiker shelter spread along the entire 2,100 mile trail, they have been unceremoniously dumped in a spider infested basement. The journals have never been read in their entirety by a single human set of eyes until now. His meticulous analysis of these neglected journals reveal a mysterious series of communications which illuminate an underground group referred to as "The kindred". Quickly, a shadowy figure under the trail name "Lost Mungo" emerges as a central character in this conspiracy. Oddly, this strange hiker communicates across time and space. His trail entries span four decades without ever missing a single day. Hiking in no particular direction, Lost Mungo is never off trail regardless of season. Summer, Fall, Winter and Spring find him in countless remote mountain shelters. For some reason, this eccentric character is tracing the survivors of John Brown's 1st raid on Harpers Ferry across generations. The college student decides to hike the mountainous trails himself to find out why. What he finds will change his life forever.
