Helpful Score: 1
Ordinarily, I would agree with many book critics that a different author finishing or writing from the original author's outline is a gross mistake. This instance, however, briskly kicks that theory in the trash.
Spider Robinson is a very entertaining author in his own right and he demonstrates that in this story. He is obviously a serious Heinlein fan and the many Heinlein echos throughout the story help immensely. It also did not hurt that he worked from a partial outline originally written by Heinlein fifty years ago.
It is very obvious that this was not written by Robert Anson Heinlein, but is still a very good science fiction story.
