L. NEIL SMITH'S \LEVER ACTION\ LETTER NUMBER 12
== NOVELS BY L. NEIL SMITH ==
Readers of my \Lever Action\ Letter may not know about my fiction, which also
advocates personal self-defense, weapons ownership, and individualism. It's
fair to say (I suppose because I'm not the first to say it) that if you like
the works of Robert A. Heinlein or H. Beam Piper, you'll like what I do. If
you can't find it on the racks, take this list to the order desk of your
neighborhood bookstore.
THE PROBABILITY BROACH (Del Rey Books, 1980) In deadly conflict with federal
agents, homicide detective Win Bear is accidentally blown into the North
American Confederacy, where the Whiskey Rebellion succeeded in 1794 and
government has grown smaller and less powerful ever since. Prometheus Award
winner. (See also "The Spirit of Exmas Sideways", \Alternatives\, edited by
Robert and Pamela Crippen Adams, Baen Books, 1989. Making a place for
himself in the stateless North American Confederacy, ex-cop Win Bear
discovers the joys and difficulties of absolute self-ownership.)
THE NAGASAKI VECTOR (Del Rey Books, 1983) Is a culture with an absolute
regard for individual rights helpless against those who would destroy it? Time
traveler Bernie Gruenblum hires Win Bear to track down the stolen flying
saucer who loves him. (Based on "Grimm's Law", "Folger's Factor", and
"Grandfather Clause" which appeared respectively in Stellar Science Fiction
Stories Nos. 5, 6, & 7, Del Rey Books, 1980 & 1981, and on "The Embarrassment
Box" to be published in the \New Libertarian\ All Science-Fiction Triple
Issue memorial to Robert A. Heinlein.)
THE VENUS BELT (Del Rey Books, 1980) How does an ethical culture conquer its
"final frontier"? A series of disappearances leads Win Bear, assisted by Koko
Featherstone-Haugh, a young female gorilla, and Lucy Kropotkin, a disgruntled
murder victim, to the asteroids and a totalitarian conspiracy stretching
across whole universes.
THEIR MAJESTIES' BUCKETEERS (Del Rey Books, 1981) On an alien world just
entering its own Age of Invention, a "fireman" invents the art of criminal
detection in order to solve the murder of his favorite teacher.
TOM PAINE MARU (Del Rey Books, 1984) The North American Confederacy reaches
the stars, its Prime Directive: search out governments wherever they happen to
exist -- and destroy them.
THE GALLATIN DIVERGENCE (Del Rey Books, 1985) Win Bear travels back in time
to 1794 to save Albert Gallatin, founder of the North American Confederacy.
First appearance in print of the Covenant of Unanimous Consent.
BRIGHTSUIT MACBEAR (Avon Books, 1988) On the planet Majesty, covered pole-to-
pole with jungle six miles deep, Win Bear's great grandson Mac fights to
prevent a terrible crime and recover a lost legacy.
TAFLAK LYSANDRA (Avon Books, 1988) Testing a marvelous "subfoline" craft,
Elsie Nahuatl becomes lost beneath the planet Majesty's Sea of Leaves with her
father -- who happens to be a cybernetic coyote. (To be followed soon by five
more MacBear-Lysandra adventures.)
LANDO CALRISSIAN AND THE MINDHARP OF SHARU (Del Rey Books, 1983)
LANDO CALRISSIAN AND THE FLAMEWIND OF OSEON (Del Rey Books, 1983)
LANDO CALRISSIAN AND THE STARCAVE OF THONBOKA (Del Rey Books, 1983)
The youthful adventures of \Star Wars\' famous gambler before Han Solo won the
\Millennium Falcon\ from him. Featuring part-time robot Vuffi Raa.
THE CRYSTAL EMPIRE (Tor Books, 1986) Moslems rule the world in this adventure
of an inventor in an alternate world where the Black Plague killed 999 out
of 1000 and technology -- especially firearms -- took the blame.
THE WARDOVE (Berkley Books, 1986) The Earth was destroyed in 2023 and only
Lunar colonists survived. 900 years later, in a star-spanning nation without
conscription or taxation, Nathaniel Blackburn of Coordinated Arm Intelligence
must find out who's killing rock stars raising money for the War Against the
Clusterian Powers. Includes lyrics to over a dozen songs written by the author.
HENRY MARTYN (Tor, 1989) A thousand years from now, in the depths of
interstellar space, there will be sailing ships -- and \pirates\! Vast
empires clash as Arran Islay fights to regain a legacy brutally stripped from
his family by the Black Usurper.
FORGE OF THE ELDERS: CONTACT AND COMMUNE (Warner Books, 1990)
FORGE OF THE ELDERS: CONVERSE AND CONFLICT (Warner Books, 1990)
FORGE OF THE ELDERS: CONCERT AND COSMOS (Warner Books, 1990)
The American Soviet Socialist Republic claims the asteroid 5023 Eris, but
somebody -- or something -- is already there. The Elders aren't human, but
they're individualists -- and capitalists!
PALLAS (Forthcoming from Tor Books) In the persons of a disgraced United
States Senator and a young Vietnamese immigrant, East America and the
entrepreneurs of the Jackelope Republic fight for control of a new world.
THE 'MERICAN ZONE (Forthcoming) How much freedom can you stand in a world
where your kids can buy drugs and ammo from a vending machine? Cultures

crimes centered on a seedy neighborhood of American immigrants to the
North American Confederacy.
