	Amazon.com: Books: Freehold
		"Farnham's Freehold" has no bearing on it, except that we both used the term "Freehold," a thousand year old term for land held without being a tenant owing fealty.
		It is on Freehold she finds happiness and love and realizes all the lies that have been told over by the U.N. to the billions of humans back on earth.
		Although his willingness to indulge in self-criticism bodes well for the sequal, Freehold is itself a spectacularly intriguing vision of a free-market society in conflict with larger, older, corrupt societies.

	site: Robert A. Heinlein - Archives - Heinlein's Book Dedications
		Farnham’s Freehold (1964): “To Alan Nourse.” Dr. Alan Nourse (1928 — 1992) was a Medical Doctor and a science fiction writer who is listed as a source of help for Heinlein’s article “Are You A Rare Blood?” in the 1976 Compton Yearbook.
		A few years back, there was a general store (a small, side-of-the-road mom-&-pop store that sold groceries and other odds and ends), but the road was widened and the store had the misfortune to be on the side it was widened toward.
		The name goes back to 1000 or so, and was originally something [like] `Eulf's Wick,’ which through centuries of misspellings got close enough to the more familiar `Owls’ to flip over the form we know now.

	Robert Heinlein: Murder Suspect
		The characterization Anthony Boucher gave of his friend put me most strongly in mind of Jubal Harshaw from "Stranger in a Strange Land," with a hint of Hugh Farnham from "Farnham's Freehold" thrown in.
		In his 1942 novel "Rocket to the Morgue", Anthony Boucher captured this moment in science fiction history and preserved it by using his friends and fellow members of the Mañana Literary Society as the suspects in a murder mystery.
		Boucher notes, "This in the way it was in Southern California just before the war, when science fiction was being given its present form by such authors as Robert A. Heinlein (still the undisputed Master), Cleve Cartmill, Jack Williamson, Edmond Hamilton, Henry Kuttner, C. Moore, and many others."

	Apocalyptic and End of the World Fiction, Film and TV at EmptyWorld
		But Farnham's Freehold is a tale of wish-fulfillment; the actualities of survival are clearly so unrewarding when faced directly that almost all sf which deals with nuclear holocaust directly treats its human protagonists as doomed.
		Sadistic, sexist, racist, pornographic, gloating and void, survivalist fiction is an obscene parody of genuine survivalism, and a nightmare at the bottom of the barrel of sf.
		A second important open-ended series (survivalist fiction, like pornography, tends to be structured as a series of escalating repetitions of the same material) is William W Johnstone's Ashes sequence from 1983, in which an extreme right-wing political agenda is used to legitimize the hero's actions.

	Heinlein in Dimension, Chapter 6, Part 3
		In this section, I intend to briefly discuss three of Heinlein's stories, "Coventry," Have Space Suit--Will Travel, and Farnham's Freehold, one from each of his three periods, in light of what I have said about Heinlein's construction and execution.
		The framing context of Have Space Suit--Will Travel is a near-future Earth in which there is a human colony on the Moon but in which hot rods, malted milks, soap slogan contests, and high schools with empty curricula still figure.
		Part of the problem, of course, is that Heinlein uses the better part of his space in formal little debates on the subjects of freedom and race and family relations, and these tangential things substitute for the story instead of adding to it.

		He was an important baron, and appears in the Domesday Book of 1086 as a tenant-in-chief, holding the ten hide Manor of Farnham in Buckinghamshire.
		Lydulf (Liulf) de Aldithley, and his younger brother, Adam, were both thanes (the early equivalent of knights) who held the freehold tenancies of their estates from the De Verdun family, by socage, i.e.
		It was not until the 12th century that the minor barons and knights adopted surnames and it is therefore unlikely that the early Aldithleys or Stanleys possessed a surname during their actual lifetime.

	Sixth Column - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sixth Column and Farnham's Freehold, another novel by Heinlein, both center on the issue of race.
		Sixth Column, also published under the title The Day After Tomorrow, is a science fiction novel by Robert Heinlein, set in a United States that has been conquered by a foreign invader.
		The original idea for the story of Sixth Column was proposed by John W. Campbell, not by Heinlein himself, and Heinlein later wrote that he had "had to reslant it to remove racist aspects of the original story line" and that he did not "consider it to be an artistic success."

	Amazon.ca: Books: Puppet Masters
		My first Henlein book was Farnham's Freehold, which don't get me wrong wasn't a bad book but I just couldn't get into it.
		At first, the story of aliens parasites invading earth and seizing power by controlling human hosts may sound trite, with movies such as the 1956 classic "invasion of the body snatchers" up to the more recent "the faculty", but Heinlein a visionary as always did it first, and without a doubt did it best.
		The aliens (both the Titans and their masters) are awesome, like the title of this review states.

	Heinlein in Dimension, Chapter 4, Part 3
		Heinlein's next three novels, Podkayne of Mars, Glory Road, and Farnham's Freehold, are not at all successful and, unlike Stranger in a Strange Land, command very little in the way of respect.
		Podkayne of Mars is, with Rocket Ship Galileo, the least of Heinlein's juveniles.
		Poddy and Clark set out from Mars to Earth, stopping on Venus on the way, in company with their Uncle Tom, who is to represent Mars at an important triplanetary conference.

	Alphecca: Summer Reading
		Yup, Robert A. Heinlein's The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, The Cat Who Walks Through Walls, The Unpleasant Profession of Jonathan Hoag, and my favorite of his, Farnham's Freehold.
		The Unpleasant Profession of Jonathan Hoag (assuming you have the version with the additional short stories) has absolutely the greatest time travel short story ever written: "All You Zombies".
		But "The Unpleasant Profession.." doesn't ring a bell, and "The Cat..." rings a bell but that's about all.

	Heinlein in Dimension, Chapter 7, Part 1
		Heinlein has written three times of the man who finds his freedom in rejecting society, in "Waldo," in "Coventry" and in Farnham's Freehold.
		Heinlein's elite is one of competence rather than of money or blood, and these special talents, by increasing competence, are added reason for the existence of the elite.
		Since Heinlein writes about the wisest and most competent men that he can imagine, he doesn't even expect them to be democrats and I can't think of any who are.

	Robert A. Heinlein - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		At the height of the cold war, he built a bomb shelter under his house, like the one featured in Farnham's Freehold.
		; nudism and body taboos are frequently discussed in his work.
		It appears that Heinlein at least attempted to live in a manner consistent with these ideals, even in the 1930s, and had an open relationship in his marriage to his second wife, Leslyn.
