Assignment in Eternity
Two short novels.
Robert A. Heinlein is widely and justly regarded as the greatest practitioner of the art of science fiction who has ever lived. Here are two of his greatest short novels:
Gulf (1949): In which the greatest superspy of them all is revealed as the leader of a league of supermen and women who can't quite decide what to do with the rest of us...
Lost Legacy (1941): In which it is proved that we are all members of that league – or would be, if we had but eyes to see...
Plus Elsewhen (1941) and Jerry Was a Man (1947): Two of the Master's finest; one on the nature of Being, the other on what it means to be a Man.
