Major fan. Just like Spider Robinson, "Rocket Ship Galileo" was my first "real" book as a kid. I really love space opera -- I used to have a radio reading program entitled "Space Opera Adventure" in which Heinlein, Bone, Kornbluth, Smith and others were read. Loads of fun!

I agree that the blaster's in the wrong place! Bob's old stories are perennial favourites on cold winter nights, when the darkness presses on the glass and the woodstove is working overtime...
