"No one but Larry Janifer could have dreamed up a puzzle as intricate, a mystery as baffling, or a McGuffin as gloriously twisted as those contained in The Counterfeit Heinlein. Professional Survivor Gerald Knave, the future’s most civilized man, finds he must compete with the man who knows everything that can possibly be known, and the girl who knows everything else, to solve a crime that all agree makes absolutely no sense…while dodging gunfire from someone who seems to think it does. Robert A. Heinlein would have loved this book. In fact, maybe he wrote it, and the damn thing is actually a counterfeit Janifer. Whoever’s responsible is ingenious, elegant, learned, concise, witty and wise-you decide." -Spider Robinson

Robert A. Heinlein (1907-1988) is generally considered the greatest American SF writer of the 20th century. A famous and bestselling author in later life, he started as a navy man and graduate of Annapolis who was forced to retire because of tuberculosis. A socialist politician in the 1930s, he became one of the sources of Libertarian politics in the USA in his later years. His most famous works include the Future History series (stories and novels collected in The Past Through Tomorrow and continued in later novels), Starship Troopers, Stranger in a Strange Land, and The Moon is a Harsh Mistress.
