Product Description: New edition: revised and with new introduction by the author! Winner of the inaugural Prometheus Award for Libertarian fiction in 1979.
Canny old Pete Paxton thinks there's a monstrous conspiracy brewing that threatens the LaNague Charter and the freedoms it guarantees for Federation planets. The only way to head it off is to enlist the aid of Josephine "Jo" Finch, the current CEO of Interstellar Business Advisors, a firm Pete co-founded with Jo's grandfather more than half-a-century before. Jo mistrusts Pete and suspects he may beresponsible for the bizarre death of her father that left her orphaned at age ten. But she is soon convinced that the old man's fears are more than justified.
Jo and Pete are soon matching wits with one of the shrewdest, most devious politicos in the Federation, threatened by a ruthless psi-talent whose victims face a fate far worse than mere death. They must also deal with the Vanek – the gentle, enigmatic inhabitants of the planet Jebinose who, against all logic, claim to have murdered Jo’s father.
But... I don't see it as a strong continuation of a series.
It is more of a sideline that takes place in the future regarding the first book.
If you're a fan you will probably enjoy it.
Just don't make the assumption it going to further the first book in a deeply meaningful way.
Wheels Within Wheels F. Paul Wilson Sequel to Enemy of the State. I am a huge fan of F. Paul Wilson, and I enjoyed Enemy of the State, but I started to lose interest a little bit with this more complicated followup.
Great book, excellent Libertarain sci fi I picked up a copy of this book at the library. It has an excellent plot. Well written and fast moving. I highly recommend this novel and all of Wilson's Lanague Confederation books.
