Robert A. Heinlein
The stars were closed to Max Jones. To get into space you either needed connections, a membership in the arcane Guild, or a whole lot more money than Max, the son of a widowed, poor mother, was ever going to have. What Max does have going for him are his uncle’s prized astrogation manuals—books on star navigation that Max literally commits to memory word for word, equation for equation. When Max’s mother decides to remarry a bullying oaf, Max takes to the road, only to discover that his uncle Chet’s manuals, and Max’s near complete memorization of them, is a ticket to the stars. But serving on a spaceship is no easy task. Duty is everything, and a mistake can mean you and all aboard are lost forever. Max loves every minute of his new life, and he steadily grows in the trust of his superior officers. He seems to be on course for a command track position—but then disaster strikes, and it’s going to take every trick Max ever learned from his tough life and his uncle’s manuals to save himself and the ship from a doom beyond extinction itself.
From the First Golden Age of Heinlein, this is the so-called juvenile (written, Heinlein always claims, just as much for adults) that started them all and made Heinlein a legend for multiple generations of readers.

Opinie krytyków
“Superior science-fiction. . . . carefully plotted, lucidly and beautifully written.”
(New York Times)“With its bold symbolism, the book makes a universal appeal.”
(Jack Williamson, science fiction writer)“Paul Michael Garcia perfectly captures the author’s trademark mix of adventure, tension, and frequent shipboard monotony. With a well-tuned dramatic ear, Garcia beautifully unfolds the story of young Max Jones…Extra points go to Garcia for his impressive range…Young listeners will especially enjoy this production.”
(AudioFile)“Paul Michael Garcia is ably suited to reading Heinlein’s well chosen words, giving the dialogue-heavy prose a banter-like give and take. Garcia’s range, too, is very impressive…It really is the ideal reading.”
