LaNague Federation
F. Paul Wilson · 5 novels · 5 novellas · 4 novelettes · 7 short stories · 1971–1992
F. Paul Wilson's LaNague Federation books, beginning with Healer and Wheels Within Wheels, are set in a future interstellar civilization shaped heavily by libertarian political ideas about minimal government and individual freedom. An Enemy of the State follows a protagonist raised on Tolive, a colony explicitly built around that philosophy, as its politics collide with the wider Federation. Wilson uses the series' space-opera trappings to argue through, rather than just illustrate, a particular vision of a stateless or near-stateless society.
