"I wanted to read a new Heinlein novel so badly that I didn't care if I had to finish it myself."
-Spider Robinson
I grabbed this quote from a Slashdot article on the Heinlein manuscript Robinson completed. Variable Star was released on September 19th, 2006 by TOR. I read the first chapter before the release but haven't yet read the book. Trying to avoid spoilers, I've merely glanced at the reviews. My impression that this is classic, yummy Heinlein has been confirmed by reviewers on Slashdot and Amazon, but there are some disgruntled readers who complain that the history timeline includes modern events that Heinlein would have never known to include.
