"Fascinating…Ingenious…A book in the grand tradition of high literature!" "Not only America's premier writer of speculative fiction, but the greatest writer of such fiction in the world." "There is no other writer whose work has exhilarated me as often and to such an extent as Heinlein." "One of the most influential writers in American Literature." "Heinlein wears imagination as though it were his private suit of clothes." "Heinlein…has the ability to see technologies just around the bend. That, combined with his outstanding skill as a writer and engineer-inventor, produces books that are often years ahead of their time." "One of the grand masters of science fiction."
