À propos de cet audio
The wickedest, most wonderful science-fiction story ever created in our - or any - time. Anything can begin at a party in California - and everything does in this bold masterwork by a grand master of science fiction.
When four supremely sensual and unspeakably cerebral humans - two male, two female - find themselves under attack from aliens who want their awesome quantum breakthrough, they take to the skies - and zoom into the cosmos on a rocket roller-coaster ride of adventure, danger, ecstasy, and peril.
Robert A. Heinlein (1907-1988) was the dominant science-fiction writer of the modern era, a writer whose influence on the field was immense. He won science fiction's Hugo Award for best novel four times.

Histoire
Time Enough for Love is the capstone and crowning achievement of Heinlein's famous Future History series. Lazarus Long is so in love with life that he simply refuses to die. Born in the early 1900s, he lives through multiple centuries, his love for time ultimately causing him to become his own ancestor. Time Enough for Loveis his lovingly detailed account of his journey through a vast and magnificent timescape of centuries and worlds. Using the voice of Lazarus, Heinlein expounds his own philosophies, including his radical ideas on sexual freedom.

Histoire
In what is considered one of Heinlein's most hair-raising, thought-provoking, and outrageous adventures, the master of modern science fiction tells the strange story of an even stranger world. It is 21st-century Luna, a harsh penal colony where a revolt is plotted between a bashful computer and a ragtag collection of maverick humans, a revolt that goes beautifully until the inevitable happens. But that's the problem with the inevitable: it always happens.

Stranger in a Strange Land is the epic saga of an earthling, Valentine Michael Smith, born and educated on Mars, who arrives on our planet with “psi” powers—telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition, telekinesis, teleportation, pyrolysis, and the ability to take control of the minds of others—and complete innocence regarding the mores of man.

Histoire
Robert A. Heinlein wrote The Number of the Beast, which was published in 1980. In the book Zeb, Deety, Hilda, and Jake are ambushed by the alien "Black Hats" and barely escape with their lives on a specially configured vehicle (the Gay Deceiver) which can travel along various planes of existence, allowing them to visit parallel universes. However, unknown to most fans, Heinlein had already written a "parallel" novel about the four characters and parallel universes in 1977.

Histoire
After the fall of the American Ayatollahs as foretold in Stranger in a Strange Land and chronicled in Revolt in 2100, the United States of America at last fulfills the promise inherent in its first Revolution: for the first time in human history there is a nation with Liberty and Justice for All. No one may seize or harm the person or property of another, or invade his privacy, or force him to do his bidding. Americans are fiercely proud of their re-won liberties and the blood it cost them; nothing could make them forswear those truths they hold self-evident. Nothing except the promise of immortality…

To Alex, the signs were clear that Armageddon and the Day of Judgment were near.

Ce que les critiques en disent
“One of the grand masters of science fiction.” (Wall Street Journal)
“The most influential science fiction writer of all time!” (Locus)
“[A story] about two men and two women in a time-machine safari through this and other universes. But describing The Number of the Beast thus is like saying Moby-Dick is about a one-legged guy trying to catch a fish.” (National Review)

Bombastic and completely unfiltered Heinlein
I went into Number knowing that it was a less than favourable entry, but as part of the world as myth series I had categorized it as obligatory at least and mildly interesting in concept at most. Two couples who all read like the same person explore parallel worlds via device while on the run from black hats. The real sell here for listening over reading is the all-star voice cast who bring the material to a much higher level of intrigue than the written word would suggest. The plot is almost unnecessary, elder Heinlein is not getting caught up on conflicts, moral dilemmas, or god forbid character development (the black hats motivations are never fully resolved or explained) and all of his usual topics are present (the hard science of his time, the characters all reflections of the same person with the same interests: libertarianism, free love, incest, space exploration, rampant mansplaining) but this time he clearly isn’t bogged down with an editor telling him he needs more of a story to wrap these ideas around. Number is an absolute skippable entry made interesting only passingly by its place in his larger work and some periphery appearances by other Heinlein characters, including Heinlein himself. I’ve heard ‘literary masturbation’ applied to this book and it’s apt. It was true upon release and the book definitely hasn’t aged with any grace. Apparently, as of 2020, a parallel novel, shelved for whatever reason when Number originally released, is only now seeing the light of day and if that is a good or bad thing for this book I have no intention of finding out.

Too fast, boring
I've read this book many times, always enjoyed it. Took a chance on the audio even with the poor reviews. There was no dramatic effort put into the speed reading and having 4 narrators was pointless.

Sexism in space.
There are so many problems with this book, it's hard to know where to start. The most prevalent and distracting issue is the rampant mysoginy. It underlines everything for no real reason. I came to this book for colonial space politics and was instead inondated with attrocious commentary on gender relations. The space empire stuff takes way too long to get off the ground. While I waited patiently for the story to get cool, I was treated to a cast of unlikeable, pedantic, horny, mysoginists bumbling their way through the plot. If you want cool space stuff, go somewhere else. If you want schlocky love stuff, there's far better material out there. If you want sex stuff, there's plenty of horny fanfiction for free on the internet. If you're an incel and love to hear about the inviolate truths about gender relations,.first, reconsider your life, but if you choose to double down, Jordan Peterson will serve you far better than this. Ultimately, this piece of hot garbage is not worth your time or money. Give it a pass.
