I never give away story line while giving a review. I simply state my opinion of the book and move on to my next review. I must mention that I have read some of the reviews before posting my own. I noticed a few people have called Glory Road a fantasy. I must state that this book is not fantasy. It is sci-fi as the author intended.
Glory Road can be a path one chooses in life, "shall I take the Glory Road and seek adventure?" Then come to find out that Glory Road can be a bumpy ride.
This was the first Robert Heinlein book I have read, and I must say, "I really enjoyed it!" I liked this book so much that I quickly picked up a copy of Have Space Suit Will Travel, and Stranger In A Strange Land.
This book contains some great adventure and even slaying of dragons. Perhaps this is why some people refer to this novel as a fantasy, but this book also holds many sci-fi ideas such as the life imprints held in the black egg and the gateways to travel between universes. Heinlein writes with a sense of wit and a smooth flowing style that keeps the pages turning effortlessly. I wish I would have read him years ago, now I feel the need to make up lost time.

Sci-fi readers.

Read more Heinlein !

It's a light happy feel good book.
