Book Description
================
From Publishers Weekly
As the old guard of SF ages, we are getting more novels of nostalgia.
Heinlein is less sentimental than many of his generation but his new
book resembles both the latest Bradbury, in making the author the protagonist,
and the latest Asimov, in returning to a popular series from early in
his career (Future History). Like Heinlein, Richard Ames is an ex-military
man turned writer who fancies himself a pundit. An assassination attempt
precipitates his marriage to Gwen Novak and sends the newlyweds scurrying
to the Moon and then to the planet Tertius, headquarters of the Time
Corps. The action, though, is largely beside the point in a novel that
is predominantly a dialogue between the protagonists. Their foredoomed
attempt to become the Nick and Nora Charles of space (with a bonsai
standing in for Asta) is sabotaged less by Heinlein's endless elbow-in-the-ribs
wisecracks and more by his inability to convincingly portray a sexual
relationship. Given the increasing popularity of his recent, similar
work, it is unlikely that the book's short-comings will limit its potentially
large audience.
This spicy, satirical sci-fi adventure is sure to gratify Heinlein fans
have multiplied as quickly as technological wonders. From the Golden
Rule habitat to the lunar badlands, Heinlein gives us brave new worlds
full of humor, politics, and non-stop action. Twenty-four hours after
their dinner date, Dr. Richard Ames and Gwen Novak have witnessed a
murder, wed, been evicted, been charged with murder, and had to run
bonsai Gwen insists on saving slows them down as they make their escape
from a planned community turned sour. Robert A. Heinlein has won countless
honors and is considered a grand master of science fiction. With narrator
New York Times best-selling novel is as fun to read as it must have
out Starship Troopers (RB# 95398) and The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress (RB#
95374).
