The Moon is a Harsh Mistress Book 3: TANSTAFFL!, Chapter 23

By Robert Heinlein

Book 3: TANSTAFFL!, Chapter 23

On Monday, October 12, 2076, Mannie is heading home when six ships land on Luna. L-City is under attack.
He checks on his family and dons his p-suit, laser gun charged and ready; entering the fray, he kills two enemy soldiers.
Chaos ensues as the Loonies fight back against the Terran troops. Loonie men, women, and even children get in on the action with whatever weapons they have at hand.
And then the shooting stops—the Loonies defeat the soldiers before they even make it down the ramp.
Well then.
