captainswjr Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 Interesting book. If it was real, I would move there. This is a military sci-fi book about a conflict between a rational ex-colony world (Freehold) and an irrational planet Earth. It's a great read. Sergeant Kendra Pacelli is innocent, but that doesn't matter to the repressive government pursuing her. Mistakes might be made, but they are never acknowledged, especially when billions of embezzled dollars earned from illegal weapons sales are at stake. But where does one run when all Earth and most settled planets are under the aegis of one government Answer: The Freehold of Grainne, the only developed system that belongs to neither the UNES nor the Colonial Alliance. There, one may seek asylum and build a new life in a society that doesn't track its residents' every move, which is just what Pacelli has done. But now things are about to go royally to hell. Because Earth's government has found out where she is . . . Read it for free at the Baen Free Library. (It's not altruism, they fully expect to hook you on the authors work and make money from the sales) http://www.baenebook...2-freehold.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
