About the Author
Robert Anson Heinlein was educated at the University of Missouri and the U.S. Naval Academy. After serving as a naval officer for five years, he retired for health reasons and began publishing SF in 1939. Considered the dean of American SF writers, Heinlein was loved and emulated during the half century that he wrote SF. He wrote dozens of novels and short stories, including Double Star, Stranger in a Strange Land, and The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, all of which won Hugo Awards. Heinlein was the recipient of the First Grand Master Nebula in 1975, and he was the guest of honor at three World SF Conventions: in 1941, 1961, and 1976. He has repeatedly been voted "best all-time author" in readers' polls. Robert A. Heinlein passed away in 1988.

Cover Art: Pat Morrissey (illustrator). 1994 Edition. © 1992: New collected works by Robert A Heinlein including tributes to the Grand Master, edited by Yoji Kondo. 1st printing of 1994 edition:- Synopsis: 'Requiem' is a compelling celebration of Robert A Heinlein and his vision, containing many new and uncollected works by the Grand Master of science fiction, including two major novellas: 'Destination Moon', which was made into the famous George Pal film, and 'Tenderfoot In Space'. There are contributions from such luminaries as Arthur C Clarke, Robert Silverberg, Spider Robinson, and Gordon R Dickson, as well as an introduction by Virginia Heinlein. Heinlein was the pre-eminent science fiction writer of the twentieth century. 'Requiem' reveals the story of Heinlein's passion for space exploration - his glory and his dream:- Review(s): "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 / "I've read (and cried over) 'Requiem' - a fine memorial" - Arthur C Clarke, author of '2001: A Space Odyssey' / "86,000 words of Robert Heinlein - never been in book form before. A real treasure for all of Robert Heinlein's children" - Greg Bear, author of 'The Forge Of God':- (original cost $5.99). Seller Inventory # 18.999.00023
