Product Description:
Robert A. Heinlein is widely and justly regarded as the greatest practitioner of the art of science fiction who has ever lived. Here are two of his greatest short novels:
GULF: In which the greatest superspy of them all is revealed as the leader of a league of supermen and women who can't quite decide what to do with the rest of us....
LOST LEGACY: In which it is proved that we are all members of that league -- or would be, if we but had eyes to see....
PLUS TWO GREAT STORIES: Two of the Master's finest: one on the nature of Being, the other on what it means to be a Man.

- A good example of early HeinleinThere 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 on 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. ...

- short stories written by Heinlein in his "adult" mode"Assignment in Eternity" is a collection of relatively short stories written by Robert A. Heinlein in his "adult" mode. These stories were written fairly early in Heinlein's carrer. Do not expect the author who coddled "juveniles" to be present here. Heinlein was a serious thinker and his early works sometimes have an edge to them that can be suprising to some folks.
I happen to have enjoyed reading these stories. I hope you will enjoy them too.
