I tracked down this book because I have fond memories of Glory
Road which was the only other fantasy, I recalled written by
Heinlein. This was disappointing, not
that the stories but the fact that I didn’t really see them as fantasies. It was more lip service with mention of
magic. I guess they could be considered
early urban fantasy but I felt they fit more with his general body of work than
in the fantasy genre.
My impression of Heinlein was that he was a frustrated
philosopher. Much of his work struck me
as proposing a different way of seeing and doing things. These stories had some interesting twists
and I did enjoy them.
This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
