At his death in 1988, Robert A. Heinlein left a legacy of novels and short stories that almost single-handedly defined modern science fiction. But one of Heinlein's masterpieces was never finished. In 1955, he began work on Variable Star, a powerful and passionate tale of two young lovers driven apart by pride, power, and the vastness of interstellar time and space. Then he set it aside to focus on other novellas.

The detailed outline and notes he created for this project lay forgotten for decades, only to be rediscovered almost a half century later. Now the Heinlein estate has authorized award-winning author Spider Robinson to expand that outline into a full-length novel. The result is vintage Heinlein, faithful in style and spirit to the Grand Master's original vision.

The first time I read this book over 10 years ago, I thought I was a little goofy. Throughout the years I always found myself randomly remembering little snippets and going back over to reread the novel more than 18 times. This has become my go to book whenever I just want to relax and know I’m going to enjoy the story. Glad it’s now part of my Audible collection and will not leave my library. I’m sure others will not feel the way I do about this book, but all I can say is that it is one of my most favorites and cannot recommend it enough.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Comfort book

I had not discovered Spider Robinson until searching for a Heinlein I didn’t know like the back of my hand yielded this masterpiece. I am so happy I now have 32 new books to look forward too. Thank You Mr Robinson.

Finally an author I enjoy as much as Robert Heinlein

This book feels like it was written in the 1950s, which was when it had its plot skeleton made so that makes sense. Its an interesting concept and has some very well fleshed out characters.

Old-Timey Scifi feel.

I have two issues with this novel. Let's get the narration out of the way first. Spider Robinson is a fun writer most times. He is however quite lacking as a narrator. Perhaps it is simply I do not take to his habit of speaking with an odd and inconsistent cadence. to me his speaking lacks real rhythm. I simply find myself distracted because I am spending more time thinking "...this guy needs to have three less pots coffee's before reading and to SLOW DOWN..." So, basically the narration style is distracting...for me.

Now, the second part is...the story is plodding and very predictable. It is not even to the level of a RAH junior novel. The basic story line is not much different than Citizen of the Galaxy. Maybe because it was likely the work Heinlein used to write Citizen. This story seemed to lack any real focus or, strangely enough, no character development. If anything Heinlein was a master at developing humanist SF. And, sure this is not RAH's work really. But for me it was simply Spider Robinson piggy backing the RAH name. A valiant effort for certain. It simply feel far short of a solid novel for me.

And Spider, please slow down and enunciate...you know your works...give us that not some that feels, well, in a hurry to get back to the bar where you can cash the extra check for doing the narration.

I just feel badly for writing such a negative review...but I was greatly disappointed in this audiobook and story. I do think it is worth a listen if you lower your expectations somewhat.

Not a great effort...not awful either.

Spider Robinson speaks way too fast. I had trouble following the story because of the breakneck speed of the narration. Parts of the story seemed familiar, containing many puns and phrases RAH used in other novels. Not sorry I bought it, and I want to thank Nr Robinson for completing it for us.
