A compelling coming-of-age adventure from legendary SF master and multiple New York Times best seller Robert A. Heinlein.
Lummox has been the pet of the Stuart family for generations. With eight legs, a thick hide, and increasingly large size, Lummox is nobody's idea of man's best friend. Nevertheless, John Stuart XI, descendant of the starman who originally brought Lummox back to Earth, loves him. But when Lummox eats a neighbor's car and begins to grow again, the feds decide that enough is enough. John isn't about to let the authorities take his pet away, and with his best friend, Betty, he determines to save Lummox - even if he must forever leave the life he's always known.

For one It's because all of his stories are "hard science fiction" stories. While being very entertained I learn how to tell a well grounded adventures. The man does not write "action stories, " yes there is action, but the stories are about people that I can believe in. Hienlien's heros get it wrong, before they press on until they get, or make it right. What's more, his tales contents are both subtle, and correct. As I listen I repeatedly flip to "Google" to clarify the meaning of a word; I'm learning as I lidten.
It's a delight being carried along through a story by an author with a better mind, and a better imagination than my own.
As a boy of 12 I chanced on one of Robert's first stories for teens written in the early 1950's, after which I was in love with both science, and speculative fictions. ' Ultimately I came to see my world through the same eyes as Robert Heinlein, his philosophies became my philosophies, his beliefs my beliefs, not all, but more than a few.
Why have I read all of Hienlien's writings two ti~
