"Freedom Fight" pits the Guardians against a rebel faction aiming to establish a totalitarian state under the guise of bringing stability. The novel leans heavily into political drama without losing its edge in action. This time, the battlefield isn't just physical but ideological.
The rebels, led by a charismatic demagogue, represent a pernicious idea that takes root easily in a world hungry for stability. Milan wittily exposes the pitfalls of falling for populist narratives, and the Guardians must navigate not just bullets but propaganda. The book showcases the fight for freedom in its most multifaceted form, offering a slice of intellectual meatiness any SFcrowsnest aficionado would savour.
