About this listen

Maureen Johnson, the somewhat irregular mother of Lazarus Long, wakes up in bed with a man and a cat. The cat is Pixel, well-known to fans of the New York Times best seller The Cat Who Walks through Walls. The man is a stranger to her, and besides that, he is dead.

So begins Robert A. Heinlein’s To Sail Beyond the Sunset. Filled with the master’s most beloved characters, this compelling work broadens and enriches his epic vision of time and space, life and death, love and desire. It is also an autobiographical masterpiece—and a wondrous return to the alternate universes that all Heinlein fans have come to know and love.

Bernadette Dunne does a lovely job

This narrator really brings a charming character to life. The story, like many of Heinlein's, has a lot of sex, some of it taboo, so bear that in mind if you try this one, but the story is excellent and detailed. I really enjoyed it and have listened to it several times over the years.
