The Number of the Beast

Product Description [This is the Audiobook CD Library Edition in vinyl case.] The wickedest, most wonderful science fiction story ever created in our--or any--time. Anything can begin at a party in California and everything does in this bold masterwork by a grand master of science fiction. When four supremely sensual and unspeakably cerebral humans--two male, two female--find themselves under attack from aliens who want their awesome quantum breakthrough, they take to the skies--and zoom into the cosmos on a rocket roller-coaster ride of adventure, danger, ecstasy, and peril. Review ''[A story] about two men and two women in a time-machine safari through this and other universes. But describing The Number of the Beast thus is like saying Moby-Dick is about a one-legged guy trying to catch a fish.'' --National ReviewPraise for Robert A. Heinlein: ''One of the grand masters of science fiction.'' --Wall Street Journal ''The most influential science fiction writer of all time!'' --Locus About the Author ROBERT ANSON HEINLEIN (1907-1988) was born in Missouri.
