Critic Reviews
“"Will appeal to Heinlein's legions of fans with its themes of personal liberty and one man's political struggle with the State. . . .”
The Unincorporated Man will tantalize you in with its intriguing premise." --i09
"Reminiscent of Heinlein--a good, old-fashioned, enormously appealing SF yarn. Bravo!" --Robert J. Sawyer, Nebula Award-winning author of Rollback
"The Kollin brothers' first novel . . . recalls the emphasis on freedom of the early works of Heinlein and the cutting-edge social commentary of William Gibson and Fritz Lieber." --Library Journal
