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.

Román byl dokončen sedmnáct let po Heinleinově smrti a jeho spoluautorem je oprávněně Spider Robinson. Ten byl označován za "nového Roberta Heinleina" a byl také jeho přítelem a obdivovatelem jeho díla. Cesta románu ke čtenáři trvala padesát let. Heinlein nastínil před lety osnovu společně s poznámkami. Jedná se o klasický sci-fi příběh, ve kterém lidská rasa cítí nezbytnou potřebu kolonizovat i mimo rodnou planetu. Pokud by totiž nastal se Zemí katastrofický scénář, je vždy lepší mít víc košíků na vejce...

In un futuro dove la colonizzazione dallo spazio si sta consolidando, il punto di partenza è l'incontro fra due giovani, un compositore idealista e la nipote del magnate di un impero finanziario più che globale. Ma è lo spazio a rappresentare la realizzazione dei desideri dei ragazzo, che si imbarca su una nave di coloni interstellari. Inizialmente, nonostante i rimpianti, la sua vita diventa il sogno di un solitario individualista, che vuole costruirsi un'esistenza autonoma fra i pionieri del cosmo. Ma se il mito americano della frontiera è sempre pronto a risorgere nello spazio, come la fantascienza ci insegna da sempre, i tempi sono cambiati e il viaggio conduce il protagonista Joel Johnston ad affrontare lo spettro di una distruzione senza precedenti. In uno scenario tecnologico aggiornato secondo le speculazioni scientifiche più avanzate e popolato da creazioni fantascientifiche passate e presenti, si scontrano i sogni di innocenza e la prospettiva del cataclisma.

Waldo - Narodit se jako mrzák znamená většinou krušný život. Ovšem narodit se jako geniální mrzák může také znamenat, že se odmítnete smířit s takovýmto osudem a snažíte se své nedostatky změnit v přednosti. Magie a.s. - Svět, ve kterém magie funguje stejně spolehlivě jako technologie, by byl asi hodně odlišný od toho našeho. Ale možná, že ne zase tak docela - některé věci by zcela jistě zůstaly úplně stejné. Třeba mocichtiví politici, ziskuchtiví podnikatelé a odpor svobodomyslných lidí k monopolům (třeba zrovna na tu magii...).
