Robert A. Heinlein, four-time winner of the Hugo Award and recipient of three Retro Hugos, received the first Grand Master Nebula Award for lifetime achievement. His worldwide bestsellers have been translated into 22 languages and include Stranger in a Strange Land, Starship Troopers, Time Enough for Love, and The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress. His long-lost first novel, For Us, the Living, was recently published by Scribner and Pocket Books.
Praise for Robert A. Heinlein:
''He made footsteps big enough for a whole country to follow . . . We proceed down a path marked by his ideas. He showed us where the future is.'' --Tom Clancy
''The word that comes to mind for him is 'essential'. As a writer--eloquent, impassioned, technically innovative--he reshaped science fiction in a way that defined it for every writer who followed him . . . He was the most significant science fiction writer since H. G. Wells.'' --Robert Silverberg
