The Revolution From Rosinante, by Alexis A. Gilliland, Del Ray, pb, 1981
I found this to be one of the best new sf books that I have read in a
while. It combines all the right elements: human drama, intrigue,
murder, sex, good guys and bad guys, etc, and blends them all very well
with good hard science. Basically, the book is about a space colony
("mundito") which is struggling to break free of it's political and
financial bonds on earth. But it is also a very well done and consistent
near-future history of the planet Earth and nearby space. Lots of little
details (like intelligent robots that incorperate themselves to gain
their equivelent of "human rights") make this very enjoyable reading. I
highly recommend this book.
