Product Description
The innocent run when everyone Pursueth! 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...This is a fast-paced novel of an indomitable individual against a monolithic tyranny.

Sorry, there was just too much,
By A Reader "snailgate" (Newark, DE United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: FREEHOLD (Mass Market Paperback)
I read alot of adventure, sf, mystery books. I pay attention to the publisher. When it is an author I do not know, I usually get good value if the publisher is Baen or Forge.Not this time. There was just too much sex and libertarian propaganda. Perhaps the too must go together, but Heinlein did the libertarian politics thing so much better. The boot camp military training section was good, but too obviously fortends that the big bullys (Earthling UN authorities)are a bunch of wimps that will never stand up to the rugged Freeholders. Maybe worth your time to read it, if you can re-sell the copy. Not worth shelf space in my library.

Good book. Intersting Characters that seem real.,
By "g122364" (Greenwood, Indiana United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: FREEHOLD (Mass Market Paperback)
God where to start.The book was a real eyeopener about the way tings could go. I liked the comment about what a One World Government could led us towards. Politics aside. Deatils of the training was very good. The combat also was a part that made sense. The fact that the reader might not totally understand anger one character has towards another is explained as it would be in the real world.

Freedom in the Future,
By
This review is from: FREEHOLD (Mass Market Paperback)
This book is an excellent view of a possible future. Shying away from the over used "Utopian" view, Williamson has created a future society rich in freedoms...complete with the flaws any human society will have...and produces an antagonistic society by simply expanding on current liberalistic trends in the present.On top of that, it is a great tale, suberbly told. It will keep you glued to your seat, flipping pages until you have devoured the book as quickly as you can.
