Robert A. Heinlein

Robert Heinlein is an author who works at the very core of science fiction, an innovator whose ideas, attitudes and story-telling techniques revolutionized SF during the '40s and '50s. Concerned as much with scientific accuracy as with his ingenious stories, the author of the classic Starship Troopers and Stranger in a Strange Land breathed vitality into the pulp magazines for which he wrote. This collection of eight short stories is intended to show the development of a key writer at the peak of his career.

This anthology includes a complete bibliography and an introduction by Peter R. Weston.
