New America
New America collects four of the Rustum stories previously published in 1974 and 1975 plus two additional stories.
FOUR SCORE AND SEVEN YEARS FROM NOW...
In the 21st century, Planet Earth was in the grip of an orientalized,
paternalistic World State that gave all – and took all. Only in the land
that was once the United States were the principles of freedom paid so
much as lip service, and even there liberty flickered toward extinction. In such a world as this the Jeffersonians were a band of hopeless
visionaries, political cranks, a quixotic underground dreaming of the
reinstitution of the American Constitution.
But then a star drive was developed and the Jeffersonians were sentenced to eternal exile. On a world twenty light years and a century from
their homes they set out to create a society conceived in liberty and
dedicated to the proposition that the individual is more important than
the state. They are the New Americans. This is their story.

Poul Anderson
Poul Anderson's name is synonymous with the golden age of science fiction, a master of speculative worlds where the future is as vast and varied as the past. Born in 1926 in the United States, Anderson's journey as an author was shaped by his fascination with history, science, and the unknown. A child of the Great Depression, he was drawn to stories that stretched the boundaries of possibility, whether set in the stars or rooted in the depths of myth. Over the course of his career, Anderson built a reputation for crafting intricate narratives that blend hard science fiction with the richness of historical and fantasy elements, making him one of the genre's most respected voices.
