Taken Liberty
AER'LA ONLY WANTED TO BE FREE The Confederated Worlds are unparalleled as a society of free people, yet, somehow, slavery still manages to exist. Aer'La, a non-human, was bred to serve as a pleasure slave. Years ago, she escaped her masters and masqueraded as a human, joining the Confederate Navy, where she worked her way up to ship's Bos'n under the heroic Captain Jan Atal. Now, Aer'La's secret has been discovered by Atal's superiors, the media, and the world at large. Branded a sociopath, she learns that even a free society isn't willing to grant freedom - or justice - to all.

An excellent story based on Steven H. Wilson's original podcast 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 covers many genres in which brillant moral tales can come alive. Steve Wilson makes that happen in Taken Liberty.
