"Greenwood is a beautiful, pastoral world, recently settled by a small number of rugged individualists, each of whom has his or her idea of how things should be run." "But the lawyers, politicians, and bean-counters of some older colonies see Greenwood simply as potential profits, discounting the prior claims of the settlers. And when the Earth government decides to send an army to rule the colony by force, the settlers must unite or lose their livelihoods and maybe their lives." "Mark Maxwell, taking a year off to travel the frontier planets before being forced to join his father's law firm, runs into Yerby Bannock, a Greenwood settler with enthusiasms as big as all outdoors, and Yerby's sister, Amy, who is coming home from school. Swept along by force of circumstance, these unlikely allies find themselves working together to save Greenwood." "There's action aplenty, as Yerby, who feels that most problems can be settled by brute force, tempered by the native common sense of Army and the shrewd counsel of Mark, struggles to weld the fractious Greenwood pioneers into a unity that can withstand the combined might of the Old World."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

My reactions to reading this novel in 1997. Spoilers follow.

”Author’s Note: Truth Heroism and Other Confusing Subjects” -- Drake says this novel is a sf version of the story of Ethan Allen and the Green Mountain Boys. Drake briefly relates the real story of Ethan Allen and his character. While he thinks there is an historical truth and that history has real heroes, he doubts we can ever pin down the true motives for their actions or even all of our past actions.

"Patriots" -- Moderately entertaining sf version of Ethan Allen’s story (ending with the planet Greenwood’s independence). Less action than other Drake novels I’ve read and more politics. The usual emphasis of war’s horrors is here done via the unexpected revelation that Mark Lucius’ father, Maxwell, was a former commando. Maxwell constantly disparages, throughout the novel, and says soldiering is an unfit trade for a moral, thinking man. ( )
