An Army for the End of the World

by M. Chris Benner

Henri Ville spends her time fighting to get home – fighting against the desire to give up, against the troubles filling every stopgap town and bar, even fighting against those whose lives she’s saved – but the harder Henri fights, the more ingrained in this vicious world she becomes...the further the wisps of home fade...


And the battles only grow larger.


An object of pursuit by gunslinger and lawman alike, it isn’t until a narrow escape from the gallows that Henri finds herself relentlessly hunted by the formidable Pastor Rigby Briarwood – a clever young Irishman fueled by Catholic faith and an unwavering commitment to destroy the demons that have thus far eluded God’s wrath.


With enough munitions to satisfy a military regiment and accompanied by a diverse group of drunks, cross-dressers, felons and worse, the gunslinger Henri Ville takes the first steps in her epic journey home...

About the author

Matthew Christopher Benner is an author from the east coast somewhere. I'm thinking Maine but that's probably because I'm confusing him with a good writer. Pretty sure he lives near West Chester but google maps showed a hell of a lot of West Chesters so that piece of information proved not-helpful at all. If I had to guess, I'd say... West Chester, Illinois... but I'm basing that on nothing. Not one single thing. In fact, pretty sure Illinois was one of the few states without a West Chester. Anyway, he has children, several of 'em. I think they're both girls that hopefully take after their mothers. And he's got trades, seems to gather them like shot glasses: massage therapist because he's creepy and he touches people; bartender because he's creepy, and without drinks no one would let him touch them; an avionics technician 'cause why the hell not, apparently; and he's a thief, 'cause I know one time he stole the woman of a guy who writes author's bios for a living. These are just things, just listing things about him, just a list--bunch of stuff, all equally important. Really, all you need to know about the kid is that he doesn't succeed. Ever. And I guess he's got a good sense of humor. And he's balding.
