Publisher’s Blurb – Lower Cover
TWO OF THE GRAND MASTER’S FINEST
From the saga of the opening of the space frontier as courageous men and women risk their lives to build the first space station and colonize the Moon and Venus... to a mysterious region on Earth, where a more advanced life form may be studying the interesting creatures called "humans".
From the brave explorers who probe the farthest reaches of space while praying for one last landing on the globe that gave them birth, on The Green Hills of Earth... to the first Moon colony, where a young girl’s relationship with her boyfriend is endangered by a beautiful visitor, The Menace from Earth.
Classic Heinlein in a generously large and varied compendium.
Praise for Robert A. Heinlein:
"If there is any single author who defines science fiction, it is Robert Heinlein... there is no other writer whose work has exhilarated me as often and to such an extent as Heinlein."
—Dean Koontz
"Heinlein knows more about blending provocative scientific thinking with strong human stories than any dozen other contemporary science fiction writers."
—Chicago Sun-Times |
