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.

Heinlein at his worst.
Revisado: 10-26-24
I truly love each of Heinlein's works, except for this one. I had no clue he was capable of writing so much while saying so little. The dreadful crawl of the plot is accented perfectly by the pompus pseudo-intellectual chatter of the most unlikable characters I've seen out to paper. Maybe that's the real point, and I sinply missed it.
The voice acting does not help. The shifting between four actors for four narrator does not help. Instead if opting to have one actor for each character, they use one for each narrator. This leaves actors doing their own voices and versions of eachothers characters, which some do okay and others do horribly.
Besides that, the constant references to John Carter become grating. It's great to pay tribute to the works that inspired you, but every chapter coming out and screaming "REMEMBER JOHN CARTER" is quite annoying. The entire plot of being pursued by the antagonists that the book seems to be named for becomes lost rather quickly, visited just occasionally, and treated as second fiddle to pedantic dull conversation about nothing important.

1984 centers on the consequences of totalitarianism, mass surveillance, and repressive regimentation of persons and behaviors within society. Orwell modeled the totalitarian government in the novel after Stalinist Russia. More broadly, the novel examines the role of truth and facts within politics and the ways in which they are manipulated. The story takes place in an imagined future, the year 1984 when much of the world has fallen victim to perpetual war, omnipresent government surveillance, historical negationism, and propaganda.

Heavily Abridged. How Ironic.
Revisado: 07-07-23
Much of the depth of this text was edited out for the sake of performing it as an audio drama. Many of the ideas present in the text are not explored at all. The book practically jumps from the beginning to the very end, from Winston being a member of the party to being a traitor under torture in the span of under an hour. don't be fooled by the run time either. Part 1 isn't Part 1 of the book, Part 2 is a very shortened adaptation of 99% of the book. Part 3 is Winstons torture at the hands of the party.

Join the Army and See the Universe. That is the motto of The Third Space War, also known as The First Interstellar War, but most commonly as The Bug War. In one of Robert Heinlein's most controversial best sellers, a recruit of the future goes through the toughest boot camp in the universe - and into battle with the Terrain Mobile Infantry against mankind's most alarming enemy.

Fantastic

Much better than the more popular movie. The surprisingly in depth look at the philosophy of military service, and responsible citizenship, left me constantly engaged.

Nonsense
Revisado: 12-03-22
"Try carrying a healing crystal"
While this book contains some good advice, it also contains a lot of total nonsense. Maybe you'll feel better carrying rocks in your pocket, but most of the advice is impractical at best.
