L Neil Smith Books Overview

The Probability Broach

The Probability Broach tells the story of Win Bear, a detective on the trail of a murder. But the trail leads him to another North America, where things are different. In a world of zeppelins and no federal government, Win solves his mystery, and things are never the same for him again.

The American Zone

In the North American Confederacy…
People are free really free. Free to do as they please, whether it be starting a business, running for elected office, or taking target practice in the back forty. There’s not a whole lot of government, nor is there a lot of crime, because everyone who wants to carries a gun, and isn’t afraid to use it. But someone has bombed the Endicott Building, killing hundreds of people, and Win Bear, the only licensed detective in the confederacy, has to find out who did this dastardly deed, and why. Because whoever did it has already shown their willingness to commit more terrorist acts, no matter how many people are hurt. And that can’t go on, or soon the confederacy will be just as the bad old United States and that is something they want to avoid at all costs.

The Venus Belt

More than a 150,000 women have been kidnapped without a trace or any ransom demand in the ‘normal’ world run by the Federalists and the bureaucracy. But that is not the only problem, because the freedom loving population in the ‘alternate’ reality of the North American Confederacy are facing their own crises. People are disappearing across the Probability Broach, including Win Bear’s closest friend, Featherstone Haugh who heads the Confederacy, and even Win’s wife and assistant. Ill and deadly winds are blowing and threatening to destroy the Probability Broach as we know it. Win Bear, keeping one step ahead of lethal assassins and fighting incredible odds, must solve multiple apparantly disparate cases that all seem to lead to the end of freedom.

Tom Paine Maru

Whitey O Thraight, the Ship’s Armorer on the first interstellar vessel launched by his home planet Vespucci, finds himself stranded on a strange planet with just one other survivor. Captured by the local Baron, they are freed by a group of monks who are much more than they initially appear to be. Their new benefactors and friends have something special in mind for the two survivors, but going along with these plans might mean the destruction of Vespucci as they knew it. Another breath taking adventure by the author of the award winning ‘Pallas’ and ‘The Probability Broach.’

Pallas

Ex U.S. Senator Gibson Altman rules the prison colony where everyone is expected to live by rules that govern every aspect of their lives. The inhabitants of the experimental colony survive in a society plagued by crime, corruption and despair, toiling endlessly at tasks they are appointed to. Altman lives a life of luxury, ruling the lives of the souls trapped within his experiment and brooking no opposition to mandate. However, Pallas, the terraformed asteroid is also home to Curringer, a society in stark contrast to Altman’s prison. It is a community where individual freedoms are championed and men and women are free to live as they please. Emerson Ngu escapes from Altman’s prison colony and becomes a hero of Curringer. Altman is driven by a deep hatred of Emerson and his triumph and will do anything to get his revenge on him. But in the process will he also destroy and his own daughter and even the world of Pallas

The Wardove

Earth was destroyed in 2023 and only Lunar colonists survived. Nine hundred years later, in a star spanning ‘nation’ without conscription or taxation, ‘The Parkinson’ is transporting famous entertainer Chelsie Bradford on a tour of the galaxy to raise funds for a very unpopular interstellar war. Captain Nathaniel Blackburn of Coordinated Arm Intelligence must find out who’s killing rock musicians raising money for the War Against the Clusterian Powers. Then the deaths begin. Blackburn knows the killer will strike again. But he doesn’t know why. Are the murders acts of sabotage or acts of twisted love? Political passion, or personal fury directed at the beautiful, enigmatic Chelsie?…
the woman who is The Wardove!

The Crystal Empire

‘Impressively Imagined’ -Kirkus Reviews **** Earth is ruled by three mighty empires: The Saracen-Jewish Empire led by the Caliph of Rome, the Mughal-Arab Empire, ferocious in its determination to destroy its neighbor, and the great Sino-Aztec’s Crystal Empire, led by a living God. **** Little is known about The Crystal Empire, which spans most of western America. But it is the most powerful force surviving on Earth and its might is unchallenged. **** One man, however, will change that. Sedrich Sedrichsohn, a legendary fallen fighter, has a chance at redemption and nothing will stand in his way to reclaim his life and his purpose, even if he must fight the Sun-God himself. **** ‘A vibrant, science-fiction epic filled with verve, dash and inventive characters. It’s creative, and it’s fun, a fine bit of escapist fare for winter reading’ -The Chatanooga Times

The Mitzvah

For those who love freedom and for those who should.

Forge of the Elders
