I came across this book a couple of weeks ago. Huge Heinlein fan but this one wasn't all that. Taking a 7-8 page outline and trying to write a full novel just didn't work for me. Overall the story ideal and some of the issues that came up were really good but I wish they had kept Heinlein's name off the title because frankly it is a Robinson book. I thought the whole little September 11th dialogue was a bit preachy and the religious bit just wasn't Heinlein. Anyway if your are a big Heinlein fan don't read this and touch it if you like SciFi! Quote of the book, "Time has always struck me as one of the Allegedly Intelligent Designer's ideas that was never properly beta-tested before its implementation."
