6/8/2023 0 Comments Double star by robert heinlein![]() Smith initially refuses but is cajoled into assisting - eventually they viciously kill some Martians who try to stop them (an aspect of the story which is never fully explained since all the other Martians are really nice). The actor Lawrence Smith is drinking his last money away in a bar when a spaceman enters and attempts to hire him for a suspicious job. Supposedly deserving of the 1956 Hugo Award for Best Novel, Double Star is a passable, lighthearted, political adventure story albeit with a pretty interesting main character - Lawrence Smith (“The Great Lorenzo”). I’ve never been blown away by Heinlein - twenty-five Heinlein novels later, the trend continues (well, I must admit, The Moon is a Harsh Mistress was very good). Winner of the Hugo Award for Best Novel in 1956 ![]()
