Time for the Stars Book Reviews
Time for the Stars by Robert A. Heinlein Book Summary
“Rarely has Heinlein pushed his imagination further…a vivid, stirring experience.”—Chicago Tribune
“One of the superb Heinlein stories that has excitement, urbanity, humanity, rationality, pace, understanding, and is a joy to read.”—The New York Times
With over-population stretching the resources of Earth, the need to find and colonize other Terra-type planets is becoming crucial to the survival of the human race. But finding these planets is time-consuming and very costly.
With a seemingly inexhaustible budget, the scientists at the Long Range Foundation create the remarkable Torchships, which are able to traverse to different Star Systems within the matter of months. However, communication between Earth and these ships would still take countless years—even decades. How would they alert Earth of the planets they find?
Tom and Pat are recruited by LRF to become the human transmitters and receivers for the mission. Growing up together they had felt like they were so similar, so in sync, that it was almost as if they read each other’s minds…. Only to discover, that was indeed what they could do. Along with other telepathic pairings, their abilities are tested, and it is discovered that time nor distance impedes their connection; communication between Earth and the Torchships would be instantaneous.
But there is a catch: during the course of the mission, while one of them stays behind and grows old, on Earth, the other will be traversing the stars, and—if he survives—will return a young man.
“The word that comes to mind for him is essential. As a writer—eloquent, impassioned, technically innovative—he reshaped science fiction in the way that defined it for every writer who followed him…. He was the most significant science fiction writer since H. G. Wells.”—Robert Silverberg

Time for the Stars. I don’t remember how many times I have read this story…more than ten : ). It was one of the first SF books I read. I do remember rereading it as a Freshman in High School. I have read all of Heinlein’s books several times. The juveniles I have read many times only because I started earlier. Heinlein always gives you protagonists that you can like and antagonists you can throw stones at. The plots are generally staight forward with RAH’s unique twists to keep you on your toes. I highly recommend this story! Jim
FUN EASY READ. I've been A Heinlein fan since I was a kid and never read this one. This is probably considered one of his teen books but if you are a fan, it's worth it!
