New stories in the best-selling Freehold series, featuring all-new stories by Larry Correia, Michael Z. Williamson, Brad R. Torgersen, Mike Massa, Kacey Ezell, and more.
When the UN invaded the Freehold of Grainne, the intent was simple: Force a noncompliant star nation back into the collective.
What the politicians hadn't accounted for was that the Freehold had spent 200 years as the haven for every independent, rebellious, self-reliant adventurer in human space.
Its military are scattered remnants, its bases smoking ruins, its cities occupied. But Grainne and its space habitats have resources beyond measure. Retired intelligence agents, disabled veterans, animal handlers, petty smugglers, half-lame computer specialists, research scientists, planetary engineers, all have one goal in mind: Make the invaders suffer for their presumption.
This isn't just resistance. It's vengeance.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Limiting this book to five stars exposes the low expectations of people who create such rating platforms.
I am therefore giving this book 8 stars. By pure coincidence, I am the sole and uncontested authority of this review and cannot be outranked by a mere 5-star-capable computer programmer who isn’t me.
And here are the facts:
1) People who write reviews of books they have not read should be tossed into open space completely naked but enclosed in a giant, insulated, heated Ziploc baggie that by design fully protects them unless they open it. Lock them in that baggie with only an oral pacifier you find in the mouth of an infant and a worn stuffed animal, pink in color, purchased from the local resale shop. Give them enough oxygen to match the amount of time it would take to read the book and also place the book in there with a battery powered light to give them something to do until they suffocate to death or choose a well deserved vacuum, either of which is inevitable but ideal.
b. This book proves the valid and reasonable necessity of bringing back dueling to settle disputes that qualify enough to stake what matters on a resolution. First 3 stars are right there.
iii: This book proves beyond any discernible measure of micro-doubt that only a complete jackäss would willingly choose to be helpless and unarmed. And only an ignorant dümbshît believes the government is here to help you. Two more stars right there. So we’ve already hit the ceiling of the programmers who say five stars is the maximum.
Guns, freedom, rights, courage, valor, risking it all for the right reasons and standing firmly in what means everything is why to devour this book and give it as a gift to all teenagers.
A novelist turned editor who is able to manage the production of world class short stories from established writers into a cohesive, unified novel has now allowed other writers to help advance a fictional universe and timeline he created: The Freehold. Michael Z. Williamson is vying for Heinlein status in THIS universe.
And if the Freehold universe is not the universe you would sell everything you have to relocate to, you don’t deserve the Freehold’s promise and should piss off right now and secretly be soaked in Reaper scent.
Grok that and read this one.

In the Freehold universe Freehold is a former Earth colony in a future where the UN and its sensibilities have become the ruling government of Earth. Freehold is quite the opposite, being solidly libertarian in it's governance and outlook.
The UN (i.e. Earth) decides that is too free and hurtful and invades to bring its colony back into the fold. While those events are covered in the previous Freehold books enough is told in this volume that a new reader can start right away with Resistance. Bottom line: This planet has a lot of liberty. The UN wants to make it behave. Freehold is populated with very sneaky deadly people who will fight to regain their freedoms. And then the hijinks start.
The individual stories are interwoven between each other along a timeline that is shepherded by three main narratives - the hacker white hat/black hat community, a logistics manufactory ship in deep space, and the diary of the UN force commanding General. Some of the other stories, such as the skywheel operator working to redirect supplies as well as the smugglers co-opted to work for the UN are in multiple parts and are spread out to match the timeline. That is fun because it provides a kaleidoscopic view of the facets this war goes through without being sucked down for too long in one area.
I'm not going to go into the individual stories. Other reviews have done better. There is such a variety to the stories to enjoy: personal courage exhibited by the skywheel operator, the frustration of the UN general who is fighting both the Freeholders and the lickspittle bureaucrats and contractors from the UN, the worries and wearying coordination required by the leader of the hackers, the final heroism of an uncle passing the torch to his nephew who thinks him a coward, the pissed-off anger of assassins guild members when the UN puts them out of business, or......the hunt of military leopards. Who doesn't like big killer cats?
This book is as much stories of an invented universe as it is a way of informing folks there are a variety of ways to deal with rude houseguests. I think Martha Stewart (aka NYBOP inmate 55170-054) would approve.
Perhaps more importantly, it's really less of an anthology than a novel written by multiple authors. Mr. Williamson wrote three of the stories, but his most impressive achievement was in weaving the contributions of the other authors together so that all of the stories combine to tell one grand story of how one small planet can defeat the combined might of the UN. (OOPS - spoiler alert). This is not to downplay the job he did assembling a really impressive cast of writers. There really isn't a bad story in here.
Highly recommended for fans of his Freehold universe, military SF, or just plain good writing.
