Books Update: Re-Working Our Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Category: Robert Heinlein Part 1
*Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror: We’re continuing to introduce the new layout for our books categories, with an image for each book. This week, we return to our Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Category for the first part of our Robert A Heinlein re-listing. Heinlein was a Grand Master of science fiction, and alongside Asimov and Clarke, considered to be one of the ‘Big Three’ of the genre. His works were innovative in terms of the science, the perspective on social mores and political themes, and in them he speculated how progress in science and engineering might shape the future of politics, race, religion and sex. On our first visit to his books this week, we feature long and short time travel stories in the Assignment In Eernity volumes, a typical extrapolation of science and technology in Beyond This Horizon, a post-disaster tour de force in The Day After Tomorrow, classic space opera in Double Star and breath-taking adventure in Glory Road. More details may be found in our catalogue.
