Birth of Fire by Jerry Pournelle

moiram's review against another edition

I was having difficulty finding any new science fiction I really wanted to read, so picked up my brother-in-law's old Laser Books copy of this story. I'd never read it before. There's lots of action, but the story is pretty basic, the politics evil them (government) vs noble us (pioneer/ex-convicts/revolutionaries) so, all-in-all, rather disappointing.

A decent story about a convict transportee to Mars who gets involved in a war for independence from Big Government. Something of a libertarian fantasy but fun with lots of action.
