With the discovery of life supporting worlds, people began to travel into space. Many of them were strong willed adventurers, independent minded, or simply desperate. The government of Earth continued to run the lives of millions of people through the iron handed control of the Navy. Instead of allowing the new worlds to build autonomy they held them with unbearable taxation and by stripping away their natural resources.
Henry MacCauley James and a selected group of blockade runners, smugglers, cutthroats, ex-soldiers, and revolutionaries, join with an aging Earth Senator in a desperate scheme to bring freedom and independence to the new planets of known space.

New Australia
A pair of travellers voyage to the Moon in a capsule powered by anti-gravity material and meet the inhabitants. Much philosophising about the differences between Earth and Moon cultures ensues. No, not 'The first men in the Moon' by HG Wells but 'A voyage to the Moon' by George Tucker.
Considered by many to be the first American SF writer, George Tucker wrote this short novel in 1827, over 70 years before Wells' better known work.
Not only does Tucker imagine anti-gravity in the 19th century, he also speculates that the Moon was once part of the Earth - a concept not widely accepted as correct by geologists until quite recently.
If you are into block-busting page turners then this is not for you but for anyone interested in early science fiction it provides a good quick read.
