Interior text

Here's what critics said about "Genius in Orbit," which contains two-great science-fiction novels by Robert A. Heinlein, one of the masters of modern science fiction and fantasy....

"A fine hodge-podge of necromancy, racketeering and California politics ... some of the most delightful and provocative imaginative writing (and thinking) of the season."
— Anthony Boucher

"An expert technician in this field, Heinlein produces able, highly imaginative tall tales."
— Virginia Kirkus

"Turbo-jets, the time-and-space continuum and the precise use made of ectoplasm by a poltergeist ... rewarding experiments in a field of writing that too often becomes both static and sterile."
— New York Times
