I have just published my first novel after five years of hard work, and it is now available on Amazon.com. Eventually, I will have a website up and running with an option for a free download of the entire manuscript, but in the meantime it is available for purchase if you are interested.
Called Withur We, it is a Rothbardian novel about anarchy, the dangers of government and the importance of voluntary relationships.
I hope you enjoy it!
I love me a bit of sci-fi, libertarian or otherwise.
I may well pick up a copy…
I’d be honored!
Will add to wish list.
Your book looks awesome from the blurb on Amazon. I have fantasized about writing a Rothbardian science fiction novel, but don’t think I have the patience and work ethic. Thanks, and I look forward to reading Withur We.
Thank you very much, Leo. I hope you enjoy.
I hope you enjoy, panzersharkcat. Thanks!
I probably will. I’m trying to work on a superhero one right now set in a dystopian America. Anti-central bank. Haven’t had much time to work on it and can’t really say more without spoiling it.
Good luck with it! I hope you enjoy mine when you get the chance.
Sounds interesting.
Have read several libertarian SF over the years. L Neil Smith, J. Neil Schulman, Vernor Vinge, and a few others.
If you decide to get it, I hope you like it.
Congrats! I know how hard that process is. Just bought a copy.
I’m workiing on something similar myself but from a post apocalyptic zombie war angle. It’s just what I like. My page count has gone through the floor though since I started working 12 hour days. At least there’s the weekends.
Thanks for the purchase! I hope you enjoy.
Good luck with your novel; let me know when you’re finished with it.
Post apocalyptic zombie war angle? Reminds me of 28 Days Later when the MC is informed, in what I assume is meant to be a heart wrenching moment of sheer terror and despair, that there was no longer any government. He responds “Of course there’s a government! There’s always a government!” I love the movie, but I just kind of shrug my shoulders at that part.
Best of luck, dude. And thanks again.

Yeah, I tend to cringe at that part too. My own idea came to me when I got sick and tired of how people like Jame’s Herbert and Stephen King and most other authors to be honest dealt with the whole end of the world scenario, which is basically everything goes to hell until the government, or newly formed government, gets together and gets all those lesser people together and plans their actions. In the relatively recent zombie book World War Z it was pretty blatant. There were even stories in their were people tried to set up their own ‘countries’ in the aftermath of society’s disintegration and the US government just abandoned them and then came back and ‘reclaimed’ the area and basically shot anyone who wouldn’t submit to their rule again. It’s amazing in so many of these novels and short stories how the government is the savior and individual people can’t seem to do a damn thing until some bureaucrat tells them what to do.

Thanks, and no problem. Always interested in fiction that’s off the beaten path and written from a different, meaning nonstatist, perspective.

That’s a mentality I am trying to enlighten.

That is the very heart of my perspective!
