Amazon.com Review
This is a libertarianist anthology of (mostly) original stories that, depending on your tastes, can be too narrowly focused or wonderfully concentrated. The "Free Space" in the title is just that: a loose federation of space habitats that has no central government. Free enterprise rules, and the editors let 20 authors ranging from William F. Buckley Jr. to William F. Wu have their way with it. The result is mixed, but on the whole successful, and it definitely makes for interesting reading. Several of the writers are winners of the Libertarian Futurist Society's Prometheus Award.
From Library Journal
This sf anthology focuses on a libertarian view of a free-space universe spanning 300 years. Twenty contributors of 19 original stories and one poem include William F. Buckley Jr., Gregory Benford, Poul Anderson, and L. Neil Smith. An intriguing collection by some of the genre's best writers; recommended.
