The Galaxy is being colonized by well financed groups and nations but the UN is increasing its control of earth and now wants to control the colonies as well. A confederacy of ships bought by groups from the United States has a different idea about the type government they want and are willing to fight for it.

I really like these books. Bain's books are fun romps through sci-fi. This is the way Science fiction should be. Darrell Bain and Thomas DePrima are now my two favorite authors. For me they have replaced David Weber and Jim Butcher.

"Starman Jones." "Time for the stars." If those titles stir up fond memories, then read this book. I have found it to be one of Bain's best yet, a classic SF coming of age novel about galactic colonization of the remote frontiers of a future human expansion. Adding tension to this classic formula is the fact that the colonists are essentially breaking off from an increasingly totalitarian government which is dead set on increasing it's control over frontier planets. Individuality, liberty, and self reliance are themes in this Heinlein-esque modern classic. Some of the best SF I've read in years.

The five stars are not a rating since I am the author. I just had to put something down in order for this to be posted. The Second Edition of Galactic Frontiers has had the errors that cropped up removed. It is definitely safe to download. I sent free copies to those who got a bad download but there is no longer a worry.
