Patrick Lawlor
Dan Davis, an electronics engineer, had finally made the invention of a lifetime: a household robot that could do almost anything. Wild success was within reach, but then Dan's life was ruined. In a plot to steal his business, his greedy partner and greedier fiancée tricked him into taking the "long sleep": suspended animation for 30 years.
When he awoke in the far different world of A.D. 2000, he made an amazing discovery. And suddenly Dan had the means to travel back in time and get his revenge.
Once again, the author of Stranger in a Strange Land and Starship Troopers displays his genius. The Door into Summer proves why Robert Heinlein's books have sold more than 50 million copies while winning countless awards and earning him the title of Grand Master of Science Fiction.

Critic reviews
"Heinlein...has the ability to see technologies just around the bend. That, combined with his outstanding skill as a writer and engineer-inventor, produces books that are often years ahead of their time." ( Philadelphia Inquirer)
"[Heinlein is] not only America's premier writer of speculative fiction but the greatest writer of such fiction in the world. He remains today as a sort of trademark for all that is finest in American imaginative fiction." (Stephen King)

Where does The Door into Summer rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
We listen to an audiobook on our yearly drive to the beach -- the books have to hold the interest of two adults, a teenage boy and a pre-teen girl, and be appropriate content-wise for our youngest listener, who has a soft heart (When a character she loved died in the hunger games we had to pull over, she cried so hard!) ....this book fit the bill perfectly. Entertaining for all of us, adventurous enough for him, romantic enough for her....What was one of the most memorable moments of The Door into Summer?
Pete's revenge!A classic---early Heinlein is SUCH fun.

No. The reader of this story was not as dynamic as some of the others that I've listened to. It took some time to begin to enjoy his reading ways.If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

A TRUE CLASSIC

But it's a very good story, with an interesting plot and likeable characters, and nasty enough villains. This has always been among my favorites, maybe partly because its smaller scale, it's only about one man trying to deal with a crime where he was the victim, and one of the obstacles is time.
And you just have to love Petronius Arbiter.
Very good Heinlein
