The stories in this book are a bit dated (published from 1939-50), so while the ideas in them might have seemed far-fetched back when they were written, they seem quaint and strangely-described today. The roles of men and women, and the way they treated each other, are also old-fashioned, but I guess that's how things were back then. Heinlein was an engaging writer, and the ending to the titular story is pretty sweet. As I read this book I was reminded of why I appreciate Heinlein at his best: his ability to tell a believable and interesting tale without all the drawn out technical elucidations that often flood and drag under SciFi stories. Descriptions of how a rocket is built or why a power source works aren't always necessary to advance a plot. I consider this one of this author's better short story collections. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
