Reviews"Fans of Heinlein's trademark blend of space-bound high adventure and serous political philosophy will feel right at home in the third and final book of Gerrold's series detailing the adventure of Charles "Chigger" Dingillian."- Publishers Weekly "Gerrold has a fresh voice and the skill to realize such things as a magnetic star drive and colonies built from mud. Charlie's coming-of-age debates with the relativistic HARLIE are also intriguing-even rather touching."- Booklist "Gerrold's conclusion to the story begun in Jumping Off the Planet and continued in Bouncing Off the Moon features more derring-do in the style of early Heinlein. A good choice for adult sf collections."- Library Journal, "Fans of Heinlein's trademark blend of space-bound high adventure and serous political philosophy will feel right at home in the third and final book of Gerrold's series detailing the adventure of Charles "Chigger" Dingillian."-Publishers Weekly "Gerrold has a fresh voice and the skill to realize such things as a magnetic star drive and colonies built from mud.
