The good guys are easy to cheer for, and it's fun to imagine that American democracy and ingenuity could triumph in such a setting.

After reading some of President Mike's concerns for their nascent nation, I was interested to discover that this was written before 9/11. I wonder if that lens would have changed the novel. It certainly makes this reader wonder if a bunch of isolated, scared Americans could choose freedom over defense. I hope so.
