Descriptions du produit

Ingram

After a betrayal by his girlfriend causes Dan Davis to be trapped in thirty years of suspended animation, he wakes up and uses modern technology to travel back in time and seek revenge on his unfaithful lover and his treacherous business partner. Reprint." This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.


From the Publisher

After Heinlein passed away, Del Rey published a book called Grumbles from the Grave, and I had the great pleasure of working with Virginia Heinlein on gathering photos and other material to accompany the letters and text that made up the book. While at her house, I was introduced to a cat named Pixel.

It must not have been this particular feline that inspired the cat in A Door into Summer, but it certainly could have been, and I re-read the book as soon as I could.

If you haven't read Henlein, you haven't read science fiction, and if you haven't read this, you haven't read Heinlein. It's the quintessential time travel-paradox story. It's exciting, it's fun, and of course, there's the cat.
                                                --Alex Klapwald, Director of Production --Ce texte provient de la Mass Market Paperback édition.

5.0étoiles sur 5 A timeless classic!, Juil 20 2004
Par R.Parklane (Tokyo, Japan) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: The Door into Summer (Mass Market Paperback)
"The Door into Summer" is Heinlein's best and one of my top favorites. I cannot remember how many times I have reread this book, even if not from page 1 till the end, but definitely chapters of it. Besides an amazing plot, the characters have depth and of course the cat with a mind of his own. Heinlein is definitely a great story teller when he sets his mind to it. Our hero's narration of his misfortunes and ultimate revenge and reward is simply delightful reading, with never a dull moment. There are even some sweet moments which are touching. One cannot help but wish the best for our hero and his cat. And this story remains one of the best about time travelling though "Replay" by Ken Grimwood comes a close second. The Door into Summer is simply timeless and will always remain in the front row of my favorite books.

5.0étoiles sur 5 A great description of the role of patents in technology, Juil 13 2004
Par Andrew W. Johns "ResQgeek" (Alexandria, VA USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Door into Summer (Mass Market Paperback)
Written in the mid-50's, Heinlein was projecting the future for both the 1970's setting and the 2001 setting for this story. While his choices are interesting (and some, such as the ubiquitous ATM's in 2001, are amazingly accurate), what I found most interesting was the role patents play in this story. Heinlein clearly appreciates the role that patents play in the business world, and makes good use of them as a vehicle for Dan's ultimate revenge. Overall, Heinlein's descriptions of patents and the patenting process remain accurate after almost 50 years, though the patent laws have been tweaked slightly in the last decade. If anything, patents are even more important today than they were in the 1950's (when Heinlein was writting this book the U.S. had issued about 2.5 million patents...today we are rapidly approaching 7 million!).
