Description:

Robert A. Heinlein is widely and justly regarded as the greatest practitioner of the art of science fiction who has ever lived. Here are two of his greatest short novels: "GULF: " In which the greatest superspy of them all is revealed as the leader of a league of supermen and women who can't quite decide what to do with the rest of us...."LOST LEGACY: " In which it is proved that we are all members of that league -- or would be, if we but had eyes to see....PLUS TWO GREAT STORIES: Two of the Master's finest: one on the nature of Being, the other on what it means to be a Man. ** ### Review **Praise for Robert A. Heinlein:** ''He made footsteps big enough for a whole country to follow . . . We proceed down a path marked by his ideas. He showed us where the future is.'' --Tom Clancy ''The word that comes to mind for him is 'essential'. As a writer--eloquent, impassioned, technically innovative--he reshaped science fiction in a way that defined it for every writer who followed him . . . He was the most significant science fiction writer since H. G. Wells.'' --Robert Silverberg ### About the Author **Robert A.
