Hi, Folks. Been away for a while...
## Robert A. Heinlein "The Cat Who Walks Through Walls" Putnam, $17.95 ##
## ISBN 0-399-13103-5 ##
For those of you who find Heinlein politically incorrect, skip this posting.
For the rest of you:
WOW. "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress" WAS my favorite Heinlein. Before this
book. Heinlein starts out in the "Free Luna" universe, about 150 years
later - and goes from there.
This is peppered with the usual bon mots, in jokes, heroic heros (and more
heroic heroines), chivalry, technology, tanstaafl, and joie de vivre
(including both ends - warning for the prudish). Unlike some recent
Heinleins, this one has a pretty strong plot and some hints of subplot,
and an ending like a brick wall.
Let your project schedules slip a day. Buy it and read it. I found it
at Powells in Portland; it should reach the hinterlands soon.
