Robert A. Heinlein

[Under construction]

I'm very fond of the works of Robert A. Heinlein. The first story by Henlein that I read, perhaps even the first sci-fi, was The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress, wich to this day remains one of my favourite Heilein books - Can you make toilets flush backward?.
His best book, in my view, is Stranger in a Strange Land.

Starship Troopers

Review by arww36a@prodigy.com, 06/13/96
Why do we fight, and what is freedom? from SF's Grandmaster.
Robert A. Heinlein hides a critical examination of the necessity of war in a rousing adventure novel set in the far future. While fighting a war against alien arachnids, the protaganist, Juan Rico, learns not only how to be a soldier, but also decides that while war is not desirable, it is a necessary part of the human condition. Heinlein's novel is clearly influenced by both his World War II service and his dislike of communism, but the "Starship Troopers" is still an interesting read, especially when contrasted to the post-Vietnam works of Joe Haldeman ("The Forever War") and David Drake ("Hammers Slammers").

Stranger in a Strange Land

Review by DMGDeMosr@aol.com, 06/08/96
No wonder it started a cult!
From the ludicrous statement of "A Martian named Smith," spoken out of hand in an article about science fiction, Robert Heinlein weaved a tale about the consequences of encountering alien life - and coming home. Valentine Michael Smith, born of woman, but raised by Martians, not only created panic, hysteria, and a new way of life in his fictional world, but in our own, by shattering the barriers of human thought on matters of life, love, and religion. As the Martian - raised human explored the alien world called Earth in search for the meaning of life, he called on us to examine our values. When Robert Heinlein died in 1988, he took one of the most inciteful, entertaining minds with him. May the seeds he planted in his stories, like STRANGER, continue to bloom in the millenia ahead.
