Royce's first fiction book (cover credited to "Boston T. Party"). The novel deals with the migration of freedom-minded individuals to the state of Wyoming, where they take political power through the use of the ballot box. SynopsisMolôn Labé! has encouraged people to relocate to Wyoming for their own immediate success in achieving personal freedom, as well as for long-term hopes of bolstering the general climate of liberty in the Cowboy State. Explanation of the novel's titleThe expression "molon labe" is ancient Greek for "Come and take them!", the defiant reply of King Leonidas to the Persian demand before the Battle of Thermopylae for his 300 Spartans to lay down their arms in surrender. In the United States, the phrase is becoming a modern-day Second Amendment cry of resolve never to disarm in the face of compulsion. Awards and nominationsMolôn Labé! was a semi-finalist for the Libertarian Futurist Society's Prometheus Award of 2004.[1]See also
