Delightful

The odds are overwhelming against his interests. To increase the odds against his dream, and to start his first opportunity to go into space he cheats the system. (The cheat is necessary because the legal process to reach his goal negated his opportunity). It seems that is beloved uncle, may have concluded that his nephew may not have had the stuff to be an astrsogator. The story is an examination of whether Max has the right stuff or not.
Of course, much happens to provide him with prospect to meet his grandest dreams. Like all Heinlein, that overriding plot is filled with a dozen and a half unexpected happenings that either create impediment or fortuitously bring about the overall design of the story and ethical communication that Heinlein always has as his purposeful goal for writing the novel. The twists and turns in Starman Jones keep one’s interest alive throughout the audio.
Heinlein’s genius, I believe, is the numerous misdirections he provides in telling his story. His tales are always involving and worth the reading effort. This story is such and its outcomes are totally unexpected. Heinlein stories always have an overall ethical communication and here we learn that even a pure heart may win out someday; and then again may not.
Starman Jones is a good read. Worth the time to relax into a SciFi. Heinlein's Stranger in a Strange Land, was a great novel. This one is just a good wayside stopover.
