Census (Harvest Trilogy, #3) / Harvest Trilogy (ePub)

Welcome to Marion, Texas, where missing persons cases are the norm and the population of the small town never changes!

The Harvest Trilogy reaches its epic finale in the next town over from the now scorched alien battlefield of Schertz, the city that developed and secretly tested the Celluloss serum on its unsuspecting citizens.

Marion, Texas, population 3,700, is so small, if you blink driving through, you'll miss it. An area business owner is awarded 'Tastiest Meats in Town' by the Chamber of Commerce. John Hester's family-owned meat market is a staple in the region. Respected by the locals, he is above reproach. When he befriends new resident, retired 9/11 firefighter, Jack Callaghan, things get weird. Stranger still are the disappearing residents, thousands of unsolved cold cases dating a half a century back that Callaghan discovers as he and his wife try to settle in. When they begin receiving veiled threats from the Reverend Harcourt Cane warning them to leave, Jack must find a way to protect himself and his wife while helping the FBI solve the mystery of the federal Census that never budges...despite all the missing residents.

(The Harvest Trilogy is a series of theme-related short stories that can be read as stand-alones, but for the full thrill ride, all three are recommended!) The series was inspired by a true event reported to MUFON and detailed in book one, Harvest. (18+ for gore and violence)
