collection is somewhat uneven. The four stories all deal somehow with the infinite possibilities of the
human mind and spirit -- as RAH saw them, which was pretty infinite. For the most part, these
stories are thought experiments; a reason to take an idea and explore all the implications of it,
through mostly cookie-cutter characters, with just enough plot to support the idea. Gulf is easily the
strongest story, although Lost Legacy was a really fun read, as well. Jerry Was a Man was one I'd
heard of before and was disappointed in. The last story, Elsewhen, was the purest "thought
experiment" of the set, and came the closest to fantasy. Rounding off the good times is the most
entertaining of the entries, Jerry Is a Man. Funny as hell and highlighting that this GM had a very
well developed sense of humor. Heinlein explores what it means to be human in a very tongue in
cheek SF legal short. "Lost Legacy": in which it is proved that we are all members of that league of

rented helicopters. Slows to moralizing philosphizing, learn fast speech, reading, even telepathy with
'supermen'. Ends sad with token mate (could be a dog for all the character). Then there is "Lost
Legacy", a full length science novel dealing with the powers of the human mind. Telepathy,
teleportation and other powers - these are the lost legacy of the human race. "The door of the mind is
open, yet have a care where ye tread." Eternally sealed is a secret vault in the brain, the No Man's

Year’s Day Heinlein annoyed me in Stranger in a Strange Land and in these books because he seems
to only see women as partial equals to men with a roll of marriage and childbearing, but if you look
at the dates of these works, you realize that he was ahead of his time. In these books women have
equal abilities and opportunities but of course the women still want marriage and children. The story
about Jerry has overtones of civil rights and the way whites treated blacks. It also is ahead in looking

Gulf was my favourite of these 4 stories. It's a science fiction/spy thriller centred around the idea that
some homo sapiens have evolved to become "homo nova", capable of superhuman intellect, speaking
in an advanced language and can memorise almost anything. The group's task is to protect the world
while trying to expand their secret society. It has a really tragic ending but it was great fun to read.
This story is about genetically altered beings including apes that are used as workers in a factory that
makes these alterations to provide exotic pets for clients. This leads to a court making a legal ruling
on the human rights of these genetically engineered intelligent creatures. Should they be considered
"men"?

& Schuster, LLC. All rights reserved. Thursday 10:00 am to 6:00 pm Heinlein used his science
fiction as a way to explore provocative social and political ideas and to speculate how progress in
science and engineering might shape the future of politics, race, religion, and sex. Within the
framework of his science-fiction stories, Heinlein repeatedly addressed certain social themes: the
importance of individual liberty and self-reliance, the nature of sexual relationships, the obligation
individuals owe to their societies, the influence of organized religion on culture and government, and
the tendency of society to repress nonconformist thought. He also speculated on the influence of
space travel on human cultural practices. My favorite story was "Jerry Was a Man," which I actually
hadn't heard of before reading this book; I think it was the most compelling and least pulpy of the
four. Also I totally want my own genetically-engineered pegasus, and I understand that this means I
have completely missed the point. “Now, Joe – I like you and I’m truly sorry you’re in a jam. You

a fan of Robert A. Heinlein over a decade ago when I read his novel Friday. I went on to read Time
Enough for Love and then came a long Heinlein drought, ended because of friends reading and
discussing his juveniles–a designation for books published by Scribner’s between 1947 and 1958 that
would now be classified as ‘young adult’. Month of Publication Love the endings to these short

0.3. Seller Inventory # GB00B0K01J4I3N00 Both "Lost Legacy" and "Elsewhen" were among
Heinlein's earliest stories and the style is more similar to the early pulp fiction than his later, more
polished works. "Gulf" is partly intriguing, partly theory of semantics and education that I found
interesting. "Jerry Was A Man" is more satirical and subtly cynical.
Copyright © 1995-2024 Al von Ruff and the ISFDB team WorldofBooks There are two major
Heinlein camps and a few crossovers. This may account for the wide variation in what people think
of this book. Artists in any field paint what is real, and then what is real to them. Realists like the
early works that they can relate to in their daily lives and see the later works as off the deep end.
Others see the early works as silly or something that they could do better and the later works as
profound and insightful. They see two people instead of one in the process of transition. Just about
as ridiculous as the cover (of this edition: Assignment in Eternity). Sexist, in a way that harms
understandings of and respect for both men and women, bad science (too much belief in the
paranormal, a reference to the 'third generation of Hiroshima survivors [as] luckless monstrosities) ,
bad sociology*. Worse than just "dated." Jerry Was a Man: This time the monkey is smarter than he
looks, but it will take a human shyster to save him. Can he do it? The fun is in the method. Month of
Publication Heinlein hits the same rock in Gulf. In the course of his James Bond type adventure
delivering a consignment of secret films from the Moon to the Earth, Captain Gilead comes across
Gregory 'Kettle Belly' Baldwin, second hand helicopter salesman and local leader of homo novis –
the New Men [and women]. These are people with vastly expanded mentalities who recognise
themselves as superior to the run of the mill folk but insist they are there to provide guidance rather
than control. Gilead, whether he likes it or not, is one of them. Perhaps it was the author's intention
to have Gilead conduct an internal philosophical debate on the necessity of a master race and its
ability to suppress its mastery. If it was it doesn't happen and the story ends with a little S-F
adventure plot on the Moon full of action, sacrifice and derring-do. o***e (3160) Pese a que el
comienzo es algo vago (tan sólo las cinco primeras páginas), enseguida se torna en toda una historia
100% Heinleniana. Su desarrollo es trepidante y atrapante en su primera parte, dotada de pura acción
estratégica y misterio; cual de espías. Ésta desemboca en la segunda e intermedio de la acción, en
dónde se expone la parte mixta de Ciencia pura y Social. La trama trata del efecto Nova como medio
de poder (Bomba atómica “física”) y destrucción masiva e instantánea. Así que toca el problema de
los tres cuerpos (tan de moda en el género actualmente), no a través de la teoría sino de la
experimentación. Pero no es eso lo imperante en sí, sino la desesperación por el poder y carencia de
valores morales que sume a la humanidad en el bucle del Abismo (si bien, el título tiene un
significado dual aquí). Y por ahí va el propósito de “enmienda”, que le es trasmitido al protagonista
una vez captado en la organización secreta de “Superhombres” (o genio natural perfeccionado), que
lucha contra la mediocridad y podredumbre social futura. Book Description Paperback. Condition:

particular collection of Heinlein stories is very much one that I wish the rewrite fairy could get her

Blurb – Dust Jacket Flap Pages are warmly toned, stamped on front matter with minor damp stain

Heinlein. (perdón por la nota, Mónica) I borrowed this from the library because I'm writing a story
that follows the basic Heileinian pattern (if it wasn't a word, well it is now). It's not far off from the
classic Campbell story, but RAH has a lot of flavors of his own to add, including long, meandering
discussions of political and/or personal belief systems. What better way to make the best plot possible
than to read all the Heinlein I haven't yet burned through? Besides, this book of four novellas
included Gulf, which he wrote as part of the famous "Time Travel" issue of... some SF magazine.
Anyway. Not my favorite Heinlein stories, but I know some people claim they are favorites. Others
say "Gulf" espouses elitism. That's arguable, but if it does, I noticed the third and longest story, "Lost
Legacy," is clearly anti-elitist. In fact, although Elsewhen is the shorter story of the two in this book,
it is one that I think Heinlein could have made into a bigger novel. Many of the student’s experiences
are reduced to a couple of sentences, when the author could easily have expanded on them. This
book has 4 short stories of Heinlein's from 1941 to 1949. The first story, Gulf, has a protagonist who
seems very similar to the protagonist from Puppet Masters, a super-competent man-of-action. It deals
with his interaction with a group of people that are even more super-competent than he is. However
the ending is abrupt and seems like a throw-away, it left me very unsatisfied. It's easy to think that
characters like this are just rip-off from James Bond, but then when you work it out this story (as was
Puppet Masters) published several years before Ian Fleming's first book, Casino Royale.
