Customer Reviews

A great Libertarian novel

At first I thought the author was trying to cash in on the antigovernment movements (maybe have it sold by that publisher that advertises in Soldier of Fortune), but then I kept reading. Rather than being another "one man saves the world" or propaganda for militias, this is a work that promotes freedom and responsibility in a believable way. It may use science fiction in a rather limited way but it shows the need for humanity and Constitutional law even in a libertarian paradise.
