Editorial Reviews

"Not only America's premier writer of speculative fiction, but the greatest writer of such fiction in the world … [Heinlein] remains today as a sort of trademark for all that is finest in American imaginative fiction."

Stephen King

"Heinlein… has the ability to see technologies just around the bend. That, combined with his outstanding skill as a writer and engineer-inventor, produces books that are often years ahead of their time."

The Philadelphia Inquirer

"One of the grand masters of science fiction."

The Wall Street Journal

"There is no other writer whose work has exhilarated me as often and to such an extent as Heinlein."

Dean Koontz
