freetravWhile I won't - for a number of reasons - discuss Tom Kratman's politics here, I will once again recommend his Terra Nova series, from which an excerpt of a forthcoming book can be found linked from here or here.
I've been asked - not in the comments - why Baen would do some of the things that it does, like releasing these excerpts for free, the Baen Free Library, the freely-sharable CDs bound into new-release hardcovers, the low price on e-books, the lack of DRM, and so on. I've never been able to articulate the reasons well - but Toni Weisskopf, the publisher, has done so, here.
