In response to your message of Tue Jun  7 11:11:45 1983:

   Anything by F. Paul Wilson, although he tends to cast stereotypical
statists as villains in extremely improbably situations.
   L. Neil Smith's THE PROBABILITY BROACH and THE VENUS BELT---fast action.
HER MAJESTY'S BUCKETEERS probably too, although I couldn't get more than a
few pages into it.
   J. Neil Shulman, ALONGSIDE OF NIGHT---best of the lot.

   Note that there is an award ("Prometheus"---x$ in gold) given to what is
judged the best libertarian SF of the year. David Friedman (son of the
Chicago economist and a rising L econ. himself) suggested that they should
consider literary merit as well as political purity, in which case
MERCHANTER'S LUCK would be a shoo-in (his opinion).
