Overall, I found the collection an interesting walk down Classic SF Lane. Most were entertaining, some a bit sexist, other taking on some Big Picture items such as slavery. While this collection was a bit entertaining, I wont be rushing out to borrow more Heinlein. The Moon is a Harsh Mistress is still my favorite Heinlein work, and superior to what is found in this collection.

Tome Weiner did a decent job of narrating the individual stories. Typically I avoid short story collections in audio format especially when there is only 1 narrator. With that said, Weiner did a pretty good job of varying the main voice from story to story so that they didnt all run together in my head. His female voices could use a little more work, but that is true of many male narrators.

Nice collection of Heinlein's short stories from the "Future stories", all taken from second and third time frames covered in his entire "history".
