Robert A. Heinlein has been hailed as one of the most forward-thinking science fiction writers of all time, and Expanded Universe (presented in two volumes) offers the perfect collection of his works to provide listeners with true insights into his uniquely creative mind.Heinlein personally selected each story or essay for inclusion in this collection, which is ordered chronologically, starting with his first sale in 1939 of Life-Line to Astounding (for seventy dollars). This remarkable collection highlights the development of Heinleins writing style and his philosophy on life throughout his career.More importantly, this collection is as close to an autobiography as anything Heinlein wrote during his life. Heinlein was an extremely private person who never wrote much about himself. In this exclusive collection, he offers forewords to most of his stories and essays (and an occasional afterword), giving listeners a rare glimpse into the inner mind of the master.Expanded Universe is a must-have for any Heinlein enthusiast and any fan of science fiction.

137 of 145 people found the following review helpful. They are just milking the cash cow By Ronald R. Allen Jr. OK, let's be plain-spoken as Heinlein would've preferred.The transfer is fine, as far as that goes. The problem is, it is "volume one". which was very much obscured on the page I bought it from.I thought it was the whole Expanded Universe _book_. And this _volume one_ includes most of his political stuff, not his stories. Look... maybe I agree with Heinlein in his political view and maybe I don't. In fact, it's some of both. But here is an example of _someone_ doing what Heinlein would have, probably, hated. Taking gross advantage of the reader. I never knew Mr. Heinlein. Except two fan letters, which he very generously responded to, I have no connection. Somebody out there is milking the cow, on this. If you advertise that this is the book "Expanded Universe", it needs to be that. This isn't. It's a very much abbreviated version, that doesn't include... well, everything that we Heinlein fans expect from an eBook of his named "Expanded Universe". We know what the original contained. And to be honest... maybe painfully so, to his family or whoever is rsponsible for this travesty... we never read Heinlein to get his political views. We read him to be entertained and educated on other topics. It doesn't make any difference if I, or anyone, personally, agree or disagree with his political views.This was sold as his stories. And it basically isn't. It's a lie perpetrated by whoever has control of this original work. To milk as much money as they can from the legacy. Expanded Universe should be an eBook, unto itself, and absolutely not broken down into parts. It was a REAL book unto itself, that Heinlein himself authorized. Breaking it down into "parts", or "volumes" is just milking the cow for more money. I don't think I've never given Heinlein a bad review, and I haven't still. I'm giving whoever the selfish cash-centic person who decided to release Expanded Universe this way a bad review.
14 of 17 people found the following review helpful. Not top-notch, not bad By W. Handy This was OK. Much of it is repetitive, and I'm afraid it displays more of Heinlein's weaknesses than his strengths as an author. His characters are thin. They tend to sound like (and be) mere mouthpieces for the author's views. They're closer to ideological tracts in the guise of short stories. It's somewhat interesting to look back at this period in science fiction and to read what Heinlein thought of his own work. The stories themselves, I'm afraid, aren't all that satisfying.
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. This was a good book. By Lee Brownfield This was a good book... Heinlein is a master, of course... but this book delves more into the master's thoughts about World War 3 and Armageddon and how to survive - and could be a bit dry at times... Heinlein was way ahead of his time relative to knowledge of the dangers of Atomic warfare... his ideas on how to deal with the upcoming war seem a bit dated now but we still live in a nuclear armed world and we are not safe yet, so who knows? The brief introductions, updates and thoughts from the master regarded each story were wonderful. They gave some insight to his current thinking without changing the original story.
