    About this ebook

    “The single most important and valuable Heinlein book ever published.”—Spider Robinson

    Robert A. Heinlein has been hailed as one of the most forward-thinking science fiction writers of all time, and Expanded Universe (presented in two volumes) offers the perfect collection of his works to provide readers with true insights into his uniquely creative mind.

    Heinlein personally selected each story or essay for inclusion in this collection, which is ordered chronologically, starting with his first sale in 1939 of “Life-Line” to Astounding (for seventy dollars).This remarkable collection highlights the development of Heinlein’s writing style and his philosophy on life throughout his career.

    More importantly, this collection is as close to an autobiography as anything Heinlein wrote during his life. Heinlein was an extremely private person who never wrote much about himself. In this exclusive collection, he offers forewords to most of his stories and essays (and an occasional afterword), giving readers a rare glimpse into the inner mind of the master.

    Expanded Universe is a must-have for any Heinlein enthusiast and any fan of science fiction.

      Robert Heinlein was an amazing writer of fiction. When he ventures out of that arena........calling his writing misguided would be a kindness. Some of my favorite books were his creations. However, his essays on his personal political beliefs, and his ramblings about the future, are tiresome. Especially now that we are living in his future and can look back on the politics of his time with a less obstructed view. This book is only of value to the Heinlein cultists among us.
