Joe Martino has a new book out-- but this time, it's fiction.

"The Justice Cooperative," (Elderberry Press, 2004) is a libertarian-oriented crime-suspense novel about people attacked by a vicious criminal. Their testimony helped put him in jail, but he's out and wants revenge--and the cops won't help them, so they must get justice for themselves. Where do they turn? To The Justice Cooperative.

Martino, a veteran LFS member and LFS Board member, has been a member of the Science Fiction Writers of America since the 1960s, but usually writes nonfiction books, articles or short stories. His sci-fi stories have appeared in 'Analog', 'Galaxy', 'Worlds of If' and other magazines. He is the author of "Science Funding: Politics and Porkbarrel", which presents the case for eliminating government funding of scientific research, and an Associate Member of First Fandom, having been an active fan for over 50 years.
