Robert A. Heinlein is widely and justly regarded as the greatest practitioner of the art of science fiction who has ever lived. Here are two of his greatest short novels:
Gulf
In which the greatest superspy of them all is revealed as the leader of a league of supermen and women who can't quite decide what to do with the rest of us.
Lost Legacy
In which it is proved that we are all members of that league—or would be, if we but had eyes to see.
Plus two great stories
A pair of the Master's finest: one on the nature of Being, the other on what it means to be a man.
Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“Like
most of Heinlein’s writing, Assignment in
Eternity is immediately engaging. Various sci-fi stories of the distant and
near future reflect his classic blend of individualism and futurism. Bronson
Pinchot infuses the stories with a Golden Age Radio sensibility, using both
broad drama and subtle nuances in accent to develop the future settings.
Pinchot’s deep voice is perfectly suited to Heinlein’s generally masculine
themes. His female voices are rough but adequate. Even Heinlein’s invented
language, “Speedtalk,” proves little challenge. Although understanding the
brief exchanges is unnecessary, Pinchot makes the strange syllables sound
entirely natural.” —AudioFile
