Robert Anson Heinlein died in 1988. Those of us who grew up profoundly
influenced by his work were greatly saddened by the news. This memorial
volume brings together some of his famous moonflight stories, some
previously unpublished works, some speeches, and many glowing testimonials
from other SF luminaries. Most of the best has already appeared elsewhere,
but this volume stands as a fitting tribute to arguably the most
influential SF writer of all time.
