Robert Heinlien always writes an excellent story. From his first serialized articles in Sci-Fi mags to the "Methuselah's Children" series of Lazarus Long's adventures of a man who lived over 3000 years, I have enjoyed them all. I met Bob and his wife Ginny at a book signing in Rochester, NY when I was 15. I had bought a copy of his "Future History Stories", and despite Bob having a cold at the time (and seemed very grumpy), he was very gracious and friendly to me. I think his books will be reprinted for many decades to come, despite his science/technology being dated by the advances in tech we have seen since his death in 1983.
