In fact, he said it was the best thing he'd ever read. I bought a copy of your novel Space Cadet for my godson's eleventh birthday, and he was most complimentary. On the contrary, I know exactly who you are. Ah, I just wonder if I could have a few minutes of your time sir, this won't take long.
Good afternoon, may I talk with Professor Einstein? By my recollection, I think he has mentioned cannibalism in each of the following works: Bob mentions cannibalism in a lot of his works. According to Goodreads, Time for the Stars is my thirty-second Heinlein book.
My final point to make on this book is an unusual observation about Heinlein’s work in general.
In whichever camp one finds himself, Time for the Stats is one of his better novels. This could be true, as I have always liked his juveniles and these were my first books of his I read. Heinlein also explores the concept of faster than light travel and these ideas may have been included in his notes for the novel that would be completed and published after his death by Spider Robinson in Variable Star.Ī good friend of mine suggested that a reader who favors Heinlein’s early / juvenile works over his middle works from the sixties and his later experiments with the tacky and wacky feels this way because that was the reader’s first exposure to Heinlein’s work. This concept is also explored in Joe Haldeman’s The Forever War and most notably in Poul Anderson’s Tau Zero. The protagonist aboard the Lewis and Clark remains relatively young while his telepathic twin on Earth grows old. LeGuin’s ansible, which was first described in her 1966 novel Rocannon's World.Ĭentral to the narrative is the accepted theory of special relativity, whereby a voyager on a spaceship traveling at close to light speed will experience a different time than a person on Earth. Needing a simultaneous communications system, the powers that be hire on groups of telepathic twins (or triplets) to provide real time coms between the ship and Earth. The Grandmaster tells the story of the first survey ships going out into deep space to look for suitable planets for humanity to colonize due to overpopulation on Earth. First published in 1956, Heinlein’s Time for the Stars is one of his Scribner’s juvenile books, and one of the better ones, somewhat similar to Starman Jones.
