Synopsis
The wickedest, most wonderful science fiction story ever created in our--or any--time. Anything can begin at a party in California and everything does in this bold masterwork by a grand master of science fiction. When four supremely sensual and unspeakably cerebral humans--two male, two female--find themselves under attack from aliens who want their awesome quantum breakthrough, they take to the skies--and zoom into the cosmos on a rocket roller-coaster ride of adventure, danger, ecstasy, and peril.

From the Publisher
Like many people, I go way, way back with Heinlein. My very favorite book (and one that stands out in my mind--and with much affection--to this day) is Tunnel in the Sky. I really, really wanted to go off to explore new worlds with a covered wagon and horses, like the hero does at the very end of the book. But one of the nice things about Robert Heinlein is that he's got something for everyone. One of my best friends has a different favorite: Podkayne of Mars. Go figure.
--Shelly Shapiro, Executive Editor
