Unparalleled Acclaim for the Great Novel by the Dean of Science Fiction

“The latest book from ‘the Dean of Science Fiction’ is a big novel, an entertaining one and an important one for science fiction.”


The Baltimore Sun

“TIME ENOUGH FOR LOVE is a full, rich, in some ways, towering, novel.”


The Kansas City Star

Robert A. Heinlein graduated from Annapolis, where he was a champion swordsman, and served in the navy for five years. He began writing fiction in 1939 and soon won recognition as one of the towering figures of science fiction, winning the coveted Hugo Award for the best science fiction novel of the year on four separate occasions, an unequaled record. Mr. Heinlein died in May 1988.
