Fetishizing the frontier and the Confederacy

Decent story of how the first colonists on another planet fought for freedom from the second set of colonists. oh, those socialists, always saying they want everything for the good of all but really just want power and totalitarianism. the frontier loving people of Coyote know Robert E Lee is the best mythical figure to inspire true freedom loving people!

Disappointment for female adolescent readers

The character development in general in this series is not particularly good, which is why I rated the first as a young adult book as OK. However, the female characters have really crashed and burned! Not one is a good example for any girl in this century.
Sorry, this series fails seriously and is quite a disappointment!

Good story ruined by bad narration

Good story, good sequel to Coyote, spoiled by dull, dull, dull, slow, monotone narration. Find a different recording, or read the book instead.

At least be sure to listen to the sample before you purchase and download!

Ok for an american frontier book - very weak sci-f

The book is ok. Its claims to be sci-fi are weak, as are many of these american "take me back to the revolution" style reads. I don't know why they get set in space, perhaps is the only way the author can think of to take us to a place where the "libertarians" can be oppressed again and rise against the socialists... It is completely implausible the lack of technology & general equipment we are expected to believe both the original colonists and the space faring socialists bring to this uninhabited world - all so we can have people that go skinning bears for their boots...

Unending dreariness plagues this book

I kept waiting for some small ray of hope to relieve the total doom and gloom of this book. From beginning to end, it is full of hopelessness. It become tedious and boring. I definitely don't recommend wasting money or time on it.
