Travel to other planets is now a reality, and with overpopulation stretching the resources of Earth, the necessity of finding habitable worlds is growing ever more urgent. There’s a problem though—because the spaceships are slower than light, any communication between the exploring ships and Earth would take years.

Tom and Pat are identical twin teenagers. As twins they’ve always been close, so close that it seemed like they could read each other’s minds. When they are recruited by the Long Range Foundation, the twins find out that they can, indeed, peer into each other’s thoughts. Along with other telepathic duos, they are enlisted to be the human transmitters and receivers that will keep the ships in contact with Earth. But there’s a catch: one of the twins has to stay behind—and that one will grow old—while the other explores the depths of space and returns still a young man.

Eleştirmen yorumları

“He showed us where the future is.”

(Tom Clancy)

“One of the superb Heinlein stories that has excitement, urbanity, humanity, rationality, pace, understanding, and is a joy to read.”

(New York Times)

“Rarely has Heinlein pushed his imagination further…A vivid, stirring experience.”

(Chicago Tribune)

“Robert A. Heinlein may have been the all-time most important writer of genre SF.”

(Science Fiction Encyclopedia)

“The word that comes to mind for him is essential. As a writer—eloquent, impassioned, technically innovative—he reshaped science fiction in a way that defined it for every writer who followed him…He was the most significant science fiction writer since H. G. Wells.”

(Robert Silverberg)

I am so glad I found the book, timeless story. Enjoyed it very much, a forgotten masterpiece.

Amazing Hidden Gem

Yes the dialogue is dated and a sexist product of its time, but wow! Heinlein never disappoints.

Dated, but brilliant!

I loved this when I first read it as an adolescent, and was really pleased to find how well it has stood the test of time. Yes, there are a few jarring moments - it would be depressing if, so far in the future, women had still needed their husband's permission to do things - however, it didn't seriously mar my enjoyment. The characters and situations are still interesting and the premise of the story (telepathic communication) remains fresh and original. The narrator also does a good job. Very pleased I bought this one!

Still great!

I found this to be an enjoyable story, like other Heinlein stories. Some parts of it stimulate thinking and imagination too.
It’s not one of his more adventurous books though, or one of the best.

Another solid Heinlein story

dated and sexist exactly as you would expect from a 1957 story. But Heinlein knew how to put a book together.

well written
