Dominion

... by J.L. Bryan is a dystopia type story similar in many respects to Orwell's "1984" but with a more libertarian slant. It is available as a free pdf file from here  and I highly recommend it.

I'm not going to give a full review as I personally prefer just to recommend it. If you've read many of my other postings you know where I'm coming from.

I found it to be a real page turner that I read in two sittings. It has a few really good lines in it and the following is an example.

“Let them go,” the bearded man said.
  “But there could be a bounty—” Rico protested.
  “Shut up.” One of the older bandits cut him off.
  “We at least oughta siphon some gas,” another bandit said.
  “Quiet,” the bearded man said.  “I served four years in the Marines, in the old world.  We
talked about something called honor.  You brats don’t even know what the word means.”
  “Sure,” Rico spoke up. “My uncle told me, greed and honor.  Greed is killing someone
else for your own profit.  Honor is when you kill for someone else’s greed, and they keep the
profit.”
