Coyote Rising
by Allen Steele

Description:
The passengers and crew of the hijacked starship Alabama fled their colony on Coyote after the unexpected arrival of more ships from Earth - and a new, repressive government. Now, social ills and overpopulation plague that colony, and newcomers who wish to leave are not permitted to do so. Even those who choose to remain resent the iron-fisted rule of Matriarch Hernandez, who is supervising the building of a bridge across the East Channel to the territory of Midland - where the Alabama's crew is believed to have resettled." But a movement is under way to reclaim Coyote for those who truly love freedom. In time, these men and women of Coyote - on both sides of the fight - will learn the true price of freedom.
