    Praise for Robert A. Heinlein and Stranger in a Strange Land

    “One of the grand masters of science fiction.”—Wall Street Journal

    “A brilliant mind-bender…Wonderfully humanizing……Some 60,000 words that were cut from Heinlein’s manuscript for economy back in 1961 are at last taking their rightful place in the body of world literature.”—Kurt Vonnegut, The New York Times Book Review
     
    “Certainly among the most influential…science fiction novel[s] of all time.”—The Guardian

    “This book was destined to become a bestseller, shaping the sensibilities of a generation…The uncut novel more explicitly exhibits the author’s views on human sexuality, women’s issues, and geopolitics.”—The Boston Globe

    “One of the most popular science fiction novels ever published.”—Library Journal
