Summary: From back of book
Review: A World United, a Galaxy Divided!

The world of Bear Ridge, once colonized by Olde Earthe but later abandoned to survive or fail on its own, had struck a compromise for survival. Civilization had regressed, sacrificing technology and reverting to the level of warring city-states.

Then Thomas Jefferson Shepherd came to power and Bear Ridge would never be the same again. For T.J. Shepherd was a man with a vision, a man who ruled with one goal always in mind. Shepherd was determined to reclaim a place for his world in the Federation of Planets, the intergalactic technological knowledge lost to them for generations. But could even T.J. Shepherd succeed when his world was being torn apart by internal strife, when he himself had been marked for assassination, and when the rival world in competition for coveted Federation status would use any means to win, including the total destruction of Bear Ridge....

Summary: Colony world comes of age to join the galactic federation.
Review: This was a very interesting novel that was told from a viewpoint not often seen in Sci fi. Not just a colony world coming of age, but a whole interesting backdrop to the situation leading up to the final confrontation.
