REVOLT ON A FRONTIER PLANET
The corrupt Earth government is sending an army to Greenwood to remove the pioneers who discovered and settled the planet: the potential profits are too great to leave the world to scraggly ne'er-do-wells!
Though the rugged individualists of Greenwood may be fractious and disinclined to agree on most things, the greedy politicians of Earth will learn a harsh lesson if they think the settlers won't join together to save their livelihoods and homes! Under Yerby Bannock, who never walked away from a drink or a fight, the Greenwood patriots will face thugs in the night, lawyers in a distant court, traitors in their own ranks—
And, if they have to, a fortress built to shrug off the assault of a battlefleet!

Product ReviewThis one was whimsical and not-too-serious but pretty fun to read. I kind of wish it was part of a series, because the story premise was the beginning of an interstellar revolution, but really only the first tiny battles are detailed. This book had me laughing out loud at several points, and features one of the most hilarious ending scenes ever. I enjoyed it but I would like to see more of how the story would have played out (and probably become a whole lot more serious) as the actual war and revolution unfolded.

Product ReviewA fun read. Not nearly as grim as much of Drake's other excellent work, which makes Patriots a nice compliment to the darker fare.
