New Libertarian Fiction of 2008

I'm compiling a list of libertarian fiction released to print in 2008. (Including my own new release. I'll be posting the list at AbesTurn.com/libertarian-fiction-2008 .)
In order to qualify for the list, the story must address libertarian themes (preferably from a libertarian perspective), and the book must have been released in 2008.
Here's the list so far (in order of release):
Little Brother by Cory Doctorow
Reason Reigns by Ilyn Ross
Roswell, Texas by L. Neil Smith, Rex F. May
The Execution Channel by Ken MacLeod
The Return of the Last Space Explorer by Simon Drake
Fe Fi FOE Comes by William C. Samples
The Conscience of Abe's Turn: The Birth of the Conscience (Volume 1) by J. Timothy King
Any other suggestions?
Thanks for the recommendation Tim. I finished Fe Fi FOE Comes! Long read like 870 pages, but well worth it. So the book begins in the here and now and everything is pretty messed up worldwide, like it actually is. There's someone writing about the future though, and the govt is after him to stop his writing because he's stirring people up, but get this - the future he is writing about is REAL! It seems the people now are beginning the future reality. Everything turns on whether or not freedom will remain lost or be sustained - and it is the FOE that are the champions of freedom in the future. No matter where anyone in the world is if someone is trying to harm them or oppress them then they can call the FOE and they will come.
I don't want to give too much away, but when you get into the story you begin to wonder how we could have all been gyped so much for almost forever, and how close we are to losing it all!
Oh yes - the powerful love stories!!
This book is going to be read and read again. I don't understand why the mainstream is ignoring it ... well maybe I do. LOL
