About this listen

A popular and enduring time travel tale by one of science fiction's all-time greats

When Dan Davis is crossed in love and stabbed in the back by his business associates, the immediate future doesn't look too bright for him and Pete, his independent-minded tomcat. Suddenly, the lure of suspended animation, the Long Sleep, becomes irresistible and Dan wakes up 30 years later in the 21st century, a time very much to his liking.

The discovery that the robot household appliances he invented have been mass produced is no surprise, but the realization that, far from having been stolen from him, they have, mysteriously, been patented in his name is. There's only one thing for it. Dan somehow has to travel back in time to investigate.

He may even find Pete ... and the girl he really loves.

Showing it’s age slightly but Heinlein is such a great story teller and the content is still relevant today 😁

Always great Heinlein

I loved this book when I first read it 30 years ago and this audible version is just as good. classic Heinlein clever smart sci fi ideas but supported by excellent characters and story line. Highly recommended

Classic sci fi at it's best

It's simplicity, whilst wrapped up in scientific complexity. A true love story across the years, yet also, in the present.

A simple love story.
