I'm not familiar with that one. Heinlein was way ahead of his time if you ask me. I didn't much care for "Stranger In A Strange Land" but that's the one that really put him 'on the map' so to speak.
Try "Grumbles From The Grave" or "Farnhams Freehold" for some pretty good reads. "Time Enough For Love" is a classic of the genre if you ask me. Also "Puppet Masters" was truly scary.
"Starship Troopers" is a much better book than that cheesy movie they made of it, although I do enjoy the movie I must admit.
Heinlein tossed in a very 'conservative' political philosophy without getting preachy IMO.
Thanks for the thread. I'm always looking for good books to read. Once I finish the pile of non-fictions stuff I'm working on it'll be back to some lighther fare.

Yeah, the movie and the book had little more than the title in common, but it was still an entertaining movie (and it was cheesy). I thought the concept of citizneship from the book was interesting.
I would disagree. I found him preachy to the extreme. Of course Heinlein was a romantic and I am not which is why I found so many of his characters in his later books so annoying.
He was one of the few of the "we are all going to starve to death" future history writers who had the honesty to later admit that he had totally missed the boat.
