aulsmith: Needed serious editing. There's a great book with about half of this and half of All Clear.

Explications
aulsmith : I suspect that many younger people find it dated, but reading it in the sixties, when we thought we'd be nuked out of existence at any moment, it was both hopeful and scary.

Explications
jain: Ditto the cut edition. The book starts out great, but it goes off the rails pretty early on.
aulsmith: Heinlein really did need to edit this.
