Menace from Earth
Robert A. Heinlein / Mass Market Paperback / Published November 1999
(Publisher Out Of Stock)
Reader Rob McQuay doesn't have a lot to do but read the lengthy discursive analyses of Heinlein as he was poised on the brink of best-sellerdom. These are mature stories published as the author was moving from some of the best juvenile sci-fi novels ever penned to his adult novels, such as Starship Troopers and Stranger in a Strange Land. With assurance McQuay reads the few characters casually delineated--a teenaged girl on the moon, a doomed survivalist on Planet Earth. Much of what made Heinlein famous is audible here: contempt for government and convention, stark self-reliance, prescient sc...

The Puppet Masters [UNABRIDGED]
Robert Heinlein / Audio Cassette / Published December 1998
Price: $62.95 Special Order
With workmanlike precision, Lloyd James reads Heinlein's creepy science fiction novel about "slugs from outer space." At key points throughout the U.S., an invasion force takes over communications, government, industry and, most importantly, people's minds and bodies. Can Sam Cavanaugh, a can-do intelligence officer, stop this invasion? James's voice helps build the drama, tension and suspense near the end of the tale; but overall, his performance is low-key and understated. While not spellbinding, this is a good scare for horror and science fiction aficionados and young adults. S.C.A. AudioFi...

Friday
Robert Heinlein, Robert McQuay (Narrator) / Audio Cassette / Published February 1997
Price: $62.95 Special Order
In what should be subtitled, "Sex and the Sometimes Single Cyborg," the author tells the story of a female artificial person (Friday) and her adventures as a secret courier in the unidentified future. Edward Lewis has a robotic quality to his voice, which is great for science fiction as it gives the book a futuristic sound.Unfortunately, he reads too fast, doesn't emphasize key words and makes Friday sound like an interstellar airhead. Lewis gives her voice a schoolgirl breathiness which, when combined with Heinlein's misogynistic writing, severely undercuts Friday's authority. She seems preoc...

The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress
Robert A. Heinlein / Hardcover / Published August 1996
(Publisher Out Of Stock)
Tom Clancy has said of Robert A. Heinlein, "We proceed down the path marked by his ideas. He shows us where the future is." Nowhere is this more true than in Heinlein's gripping tale of revolution on the moon in 2076, where "Loonies" are kept poor and oppressed by an Earth-based Authority that turns huge profits at their expense. A small band of dissidents, including a one-armed computer jock, a radical young woman, a past-his-prime academic and a nearly omnipotent computer named Mike, ignite the fires of revolution despite the near certainty of failure and death.

Stranger in a Strange Land
Robert A. Heinlein / Audio Cassette / Published April 1996
Price: $83.95 Back Ordered
Heinlein's cult classic about a man raised by Martians who teaches humanity to make love, not war, doesn't read aloud very well. The narrative is heavy, the dialogue contrived and unnatural. The tone is dated. Competent, but no miracle worker, Christopher Hurt tries gamely to keep things moving and believable. His performance will satisfy the nostalgic and uncritical but won't win new converts. J.N. AudioFile, Portland, Maine
