Contrary to one or two other reviewers, this Heinlein novel is one of my favorites and I am just beginning my 3rd (or 4th or perhaps 5th) reading.

The novel is set primarily in a different universe than the one that we readers currently inhabit and takes the reader on a long journey into another time and space using a ship that is certainly not yet been invented in our world.

Heinlein wraps this novel up with the characters of this novel, meeting up with centuries old Lazarus Long and his tribe. If you have not met them yet, you really should!
