In this winner of the 2006 Nebula Award for Best Novella, there are big changes taking place on the tiny planet of Morobe's Pea. The planet has been sold to a new owner with a vision of utopia cribbed from Thoreau's Walden. But the original settlers don’t want to be Thoreau, and they're not afraid to wage a war of terror to reclaim their world.
