The American Zone
by L. Neil Smith
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.

Boldly, Berdan vowed to stop the old man, even though it meant crossing deepest space to a mysterious and exotic jungle planet called Majesty. Yet, with the help of some bizarre aliens, a handy plasma pistol, and a lot of courage, Berdan not only braved the rigors of a chilly, unknown world but uncovered a sinister plot hatched by the dreaded Hooded Seven to overthrow the Confederacy--and found out more about his grandfather's traitorous dealings than he ever wanted to know"--Page [4] of cover.
