Terra Nova

The Wars of Liberation

By: Tom Kratman - editor

Narrated by: Steve Marvel

New stories set in Tom Kratman's hard-hitting Carrera military sf series.

"Send us your tired, your poor", says the inscription at the base of the great statue, "your huddled masses yearning to be free".

But the future of the colony planet, Terra Nova, and its relations with Old Earth is far more a case of boot out your tired, your poor, your dissidents, and troublemakers. Use us for a dumping ground for all your problems. Go ahead and abandon these here. This may have been fine, too, but for the UN and its corrupt bureaucracy insisting on maintaining control and milking the new world and its settlers, willing and unwilling both, bone dry.

Contained herein are tales of the history of mankind's future first colony, from the first failed attempt at colonization, to the rise in crime, to the rise in terrorism, to its descent into widespread civil war and rebellion...and ultimately, liberation. As with most of human history, this history is messy, with good men and women turning bad, bad men and women inadvertently doing good, and blood flowing in the streets.

Stories by: Vivienne Raper, Mike Massa, Peter Grant, Chris Nuttall, Robert E. Hampson, Monalisa Foster, Justin Watson, Kacey Ezell, Christopher L. Smith, Alexander Macris, Lawrence Railey, and Tom Kratman.

interesting take on the Terra Nova universe

An interesting take on the Terra Nova universe - I think you need to have read the other books first.

Oddly for the Space Marine no actual crucifixion

Well worth a credit

Outstanding

Those of us who are familiar with the CARRERAVERSE have wondered about the beginings of the colonization of TERRA NOVA. The trials that the early colonists went through for freedom. This is only the begining.
