That's quite useful to know. That novel seemed so egregiously right-wing in basic ideas that I (incorrectly) assumed some of the author's bias was showing through. Night's Dawn (or the part of it that I read, before that premise got too ludicrous more me to continue) seemed a little dodgy from that perspective, but nothing like Mindstar Rising. OTOH, the whole ghost of Al Capone thing was just too silly...
