Books like New America by Poul Anderson


Years after colonists leapt twenty light‑years from Earth, Rustum’s society has grown under the ideals of personal liberty. With 1¼× Earth gravity and dense, often toxic air, most settlers live on its highlands, leaving the lowlands sparsely populated and unbalanced. The Constitutionalists and bipartisan Jeffersonians strive to establish a more perfect nation by creating a democratic, sustainable community in the hostile low‑land regions. Dan Coffin, an original settler who can breathe the dense air without a helmet, leads an expedition to the lowlands. Through his efforts, New America seeks to give the low‑landers a chance to survive, thrive, and build a functional governing body.
