Neil Smith's first book, a science fiction novel with an alternate history in its alternate world. This book is as goofy as all get-out (my father's term), but still a lot of fun. The book shows the radical, free-wheeling, mind-blowing aspect of libertarianism as a perfect fit for popular science fiction. What more can be said? Oh, gotta love the apes toting guns. Nice touch. Yes, liking this would have to qualify as a Guilty Pleasure. (  ) wirkman | Feb 28, 2007 | Another recommendation from Oakes, and a fairly good one if a somewhat niche taste. Basically a libertarian alternative/parallel history novel which starts out with a very compelling plot, and then runs out of steam. I think one would be better served with the comic book version, beleive it or not. More good comments on the book here (  ) ben_a | Oct 22, 2006 |  no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0765301539, Paperback)Denver detective Win Bear, on the trail of a murderer, discovers much more than a killer. He accidentally stumbles upon the probability broach, a portal to a myriad of worlds--some wildly different from, others disconcertingly similar to our own. Win finds himself transported to an alternate Earth where Congress is in Colorado, everyone carries a gun, there are gorillas in the Senate, and public services are controlled by private businesses.
