Product Description

Review
"L. Neil Smith's "Probability Broach." . . contained ideas I wish could be shouted to the world, ideas that come from the American heritage of freedom and which could bring still greater individual liberty, greater technical progress."--Vernor Vinge, author of "A Fire upon the Deep"
"There's something tremendously attractive about the idea of a world where what you do is nobody's business but your own, and that's the kind of world that L. Neil Smith, award winning libertarian author and spokesperson, created in "The Probability Broach" and returns us to in "The American Zone,""--Ernest Lilley" SFRevu"
"The most freewheeling of the new libertarians."--"Reason Magazine"
""The Probability Broach" is a brilliant, subversive novel."--"Prometheus"


Product Description
L Neil Smith's vibrant language and ideas resonate in this highly anticipated sequel to The Probability Broach. Smith writes about an America that might have been if history were a little bit different. His is a world where government, police and taxes do not exist. Drugs are available from vending machines and everyone owns a firearm, but there is peace until a group of rebels insists upon establishing a government and regulations. The Franklinites, as they are dubbed, attack and murder the once peaceful populous to bring about the order that they seek. But Win Bear, a detective who knows the true evils of government, has different ideas for the Franklinites.
