The Probability Broach

About this book

The quintessential Libertarian science fiction adventure from the three-time winner of the Prometheus Award, author of The Lando Calrissian Adventures .

Denver detective Win Bear, on the trail of a murderer, discovers much more than a killer. He accidentally stumbles upon the probability broach, a portal to a myriad of worlds—some wildly different from, others disconcertingly similar to our own. Win finds himself transported to an alternate Earth where Congress is in Colorado, everyone carries a gun, there are gorillas in the Senate, and public services are controlled by private businesses.

"Contained ideas I wish could be shouted to the world, ideas that come from the American heritage of freedom and which could bring still greater individual liberty, greater technical progress." ?Vernor Vinge, three-time Hugo Award-winning author 
"Pick up a new copy of the book and rediscover this exciting world, and reserve me a table at Meep's Texas Barbecue." ? Prometheus
