Description:

She was from Earth. She was beautiful. She was smart. She was irresistible. She was After My Boyfriend! ### From Library Journal Why, one wonders, do audiobook publishers record so little science fiction? And why when Blackstone finally adds a major sf writer like Heinlein to its list, does it begin with one of his least important books? A story collection first published in 1959, The Menace from Earth has some nice moments; however, its tales are mostly pedestrian, and Rob McQuay's unpolished reading only makes them seem irritating. Even the book's title disappoints: The "Menace" sounds intriguing, but it is merely a beautiful woman whose presence on the moon distracts a young colonist from his girlfriend. These are not the stories by which Heinlein is remembered. Apart from the hunger of audiobook patrons for unabridged sf, this novel has little to recommend it.?R. Kent Rasmussen, Thousand Oaks, Cal.
