Plot summary

Wheels Within Wheels is a novel set in the interstellar society called the La Nague Federation. [1]

Reception

Greg Costikyan reviewed Wheels Within Wheels in Ares Magazine #2 and commented that "the author's politics do not dominate the novel – non-libertarians can safely read it without danger to their mental equilibrium." [1]

Kirkus Reviews states "A so-so effort, loosely linked to Wilson's Healer (1976); future volumes will apparently pull together the disparate threads." [2]

The novel won the first Prometheus Award. [3]
