Phil Giunta recommends Peace Lord of the Red Planet
This is clearly a well planned story with excellent plot and character development. I can’t actually pin it down to being solely a SF tale, as it has many shades of Fantasy as well. It was interesting to watch the main character’s strict religious beliefs slowly peel away as he was confronted with, and later reluctantly (at first) integrated into, a wildly different society with “shocking” beliefs. Excellent storytelling and pacing as well. All around great work!

An excellent story based on Steven H. Wilson’s award winning original SF audio drama, The Arbiter Chronicles. Taken Liberty touches on religious beliefs, individual rights, freedom, sexual mores, and other cultural and social topics. The characters are diverse and well developed. This is science fiction at its best. More than a genre, SF is a premise that envelopes all genres where brillant moral tales can come alive. Steve Wilson makes that happen in Taken Liberty.
