Aprašymas

“FREE PLANET, a kind of space-politics-opera, brings shades of the cosmic imagination of Jack Vance, Jack Kirby, and Samuel Delany and Howard Chaykin’s great lost Empire." —Jonathan Lethem (The Fortress of Solitude, Motherless Brooklyn)

The critically acclaimed space opera returns, with more sci-fi military action, intense interpersonal drama and complex geopolitical maneuvering than ever before.

The first completely free planet in human history has successfully carved out a space between rival galactic superpowers: a corporate-dominated oligarchy and a bellicose, authoritarian empire. But as the revolutionary heroes of the Freedom Guard attempt to defend the planet from threats external, they must also contend with food riots, domestic terrorism, rebellious indigenous populations, separatist movements, skirmishes over resources and a neighboring planet's desperate pleas for help, all as the team's tenuous bonds threaten to splinter over a single, deceptively simple question: "What does true freedom actually entail?"

Designed to function as both literature and art object, Aubrey Sitterson (The Comic Book Story of Professional Wrestling, No One Left to Fight) and Jed Dougherty (Savage Hearts, Worlds’ Finest) have harnessed extensive real-world research and design work to craft a rumination on freedom, the sacrifices it demands, the discipline it requires and the authority that must arise in its absence.
