Requiem - Softcover

"Robert Heinlein wrote about the future because the future is where all of us will live. He made footsteps big enough for a whole country to follow. And it was our country that did it...We proceed down a path marked by his ideas. That's legacy enough for any man. He showed us where the future is." -Tom Clancy "A powerful tribute to the late Robert A. Heinlein." -"Booklist" "Half the people in the space program, today and this past half century were lured in by Robert Heinlein and those who followed his path...He was admired and envied for more than half a century by the brightest human beings on Earth." -Larry Niven
