Starting Bk 6 - John O'Brien's A New World series, Dissension. This has been an engaging overall story. A great balance of caring relationships, gritty military tactics, & fresh unique zombie-type engagements thru first half of this 10 book set. #ANewWorld #SFF #Zombies #SciFi

I've now begun a new ZA read, A New World series by John O'Brien. Doing these as there is ANOTHER series where this one's protag overlaps with Mike Talbot from Mark Tufo's Zombie Fallout universe, & I want to enjoy those. So far, a good start. #ZombieApocalypse #ANewWorld #SFF

When he's done, he stands and turns his paper in to @mlp_Plotline's desk before heading back to his desk to sit. He pulls out a volume entitled "Theories of Magic and Atmospheric Interaction: A Primer" by Lucent Brightmane along with a dictionary and starts trying to read it. It's obvious after about five minutes that he's struggling.

The further text details some of this, particularly the party and the games, but not so much anything else, though apparently there is a special gemberry plant where ponies can harvest money instead of needing to make coins, along with some special food trees for getting milk and certain types of candy.

"All the wildlife can talk to everyone, and all the creatures live in a balance with the ponies. Everything is talked through and negotiated and everyone finds help for problems together."
"Also, something else special? There are no alicorns or princesses. Instead, anypony can become an alicorn when the need is strong enough, and then they just go back to being a pony. It's part of the magic of the community and of the friendship they have."

"And when they visited, some of them would stay here to visit for half a year, and some of us would go stay on the moon for half a year as a show of friendship. And there would be special cheese cakes to commemorate it."
"And us ponies could get there by invitation, of one of those other ponies coming through and inviting us to go over for good, and sometimes come back to visit."

"The night sky would be amazing looking, and there would be a festival twice a year when special moon ponies visited the ground. They would have wings made of stars and flowing manes and be really tall because they live on the moon. And they would bring us gifts and we would send gifts in return."

"There would still be magic, too, and ponies could choose whether they wanted to be an earth pony, a pegasus, or a unicorn every day when they woke up."
"Every month there would be a big party with lots of cider, 'cause there would always be ripe apples, and lots of pie and cake, because there would always be berries and wheat. And all the neighbors would be invited, and so would all the other creatures who lived there."

"A New World
by Apple Scout"
"If I could have a new world that I would like to go to, it would be a really nice world where it's always early fall, when plants are always ripe and ready for harvest and it feels nice outside."
"There would be plenty of trees of all kinds in this world, and there would be a race of ponies that has paws like dragons, hippogriffs, and griffons, so that we could work with them."

Apple Scout sticks his tongue out for a moment before looping some string around a pencil, then holding it in hoof as he scribbles, messily.
