Double Star<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Many of Heinlein\u2019s fans consider the novels he wrote in the fifties amongst the author\u2019s strongest work; when he was at the peak of his talents. Double Star<\/em><\/strong> is considered by many to be the<\/em> finest of his titles. Brian Aldiss called it his \u201cmost enjoyable novel.\u201d<\/p>\n

Whether it is the simplicity of a lively tale, the complexity of the situation, or the depth of characterization, the book has developed a loyal following. It also won Heinlein his first Hugo.<\/p>\n

The story revolves around Lawrence Smith\u2014also known as \u201cLorenzo the Great\u201d\u2014a down-and-out actor wasting the remainder of his life in bars.<\/p>\n

When he encounters a space-pilot who offers him a drink, before he knows what is going on, he is on Mars involved in a deep conspiracy with global consequences. He is given a mission where failure would not only mean his own death, it would almost certainly mean an all-out planetary war.<\/p>\n

\u201cHeinlein\u2019s novels of the 1940s and 50s shaped every single science fiction writer of my generation and everyone currently writing science fiction. Or making science fiction movies … and Double Star is an excellent example of all the reasons why.\u201d\u2014Connie Willis<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Soulmates<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\u00abThis book will be remembered as one of the major collections of the decade.\u00bb\u2014Robert J. Sawyer<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026a satisfying sampler of solid stories from a team that rarely disappoints.\u201d \u2014Publishers Weekly<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Multiple award-winning authors, Mike Resnick and Lezli Robyn, get to the heart of the matter in Soulmates, which showcases all the words they have penned together over their years as collaborators (with a bonus solo piece by each). Whether a robot, alien, some kind of supernatural being or human, rising above our prejudices and ignorance allows us to make emotional connections that can have a profound effect on our lives.<\/p>\n

Each of these stories examine a facet of the simple, yet incredibly complex, concept of companionship. They will make you laugh; will make you cry\u2026but most importantly they will make you look at the very basic notion of soul-mates in a different light.<\/p>\n

\u00abStandouts include\u2026Mike Resnick and Lezli Robyn\u2019s beautifully sad \u201cBenchwarmer,\u201d which takes us into the world of imaginary friends, and introduces us to one friend who simply can\u2019t let go of the boy who created him.\u00bb\u2014io9<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\u00abThat\u2019s [Soulmates]\u00a0the second story that will be considered by me for next year\u2019s Hugos; this one in the Novelette category.\u00bb\u2014SFRevu<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\u00abIn a classic example of cognitive estrangement, we learn the absurdity of our own cultural norms as seen by those on the outside\u2026effectively played to humorous effect.\u00bb (on :\u00bbReport from the Field\u00bb)\u2014SFSignal<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
