Bender,

I think I’ve read all of Varley’s works, and his first three, though his most famous, disappointed me, too. However, if you have nod done so, you might enjoy “Steel Beach” and “The Golden Globe,” both of which are MUCH closer to Heinlein’s work.

I shall go to Amazon.com and if they are there, I'll buy copies of Varney's Steel Beach and The Golden Globe and read them on the strength of your good word.

Of course, if they are crap... I'll have to hunt you down and kill ya!

I apologize for not living up to my high graphic standards these past few days, but I am over at a friend's home taking care of them during an illness and must rely on their computer. When they finally get well I will jump their shinola big time for making me use this graphically challenged CPU!

Agree. Those are very much an homage to "Moon is a Harsh Mistress". His "Red Thunder" and "Red Lightning" are also reminiscent, but more like RAH's juveniles in feel.
