A review by jayshay
Lone Star Planet by H. Beam Piper, Science Fiction, Adventure by John J. McGuire, H. Beam Piper

3.0

A crazy alien world where everyone caries guns, wealthy types control society and politicians are killed for displeasing certain members of the public. And the climax of the book is the hero straight up heroically murdering 'sub-normals'. Is this a documentary? Nope it is H. Beam Piper scratching my Robert A. Heinlien liberatarian itch. Curse my traitorous, Canadian health care loving, polite soul, I'm totally fascinated by it. It's like the U.S. itself, I wouldn't want to live there, but man, it is fun to visit.

Thanks to Julie Davis, whose goodreads feed I follow for pointing me to the excellent librivox reading of this work by Mark Douglas Nelson.
