Title: Good start/Appalling ending
Product review: This novel starts off with an exciting and thought provoking beginning, unfortunately Heinlein seems to get bored with it halfway to 2/3rds of the way through. He basically tosses off his main characters and their story and takes up with an entirely different (and far less interesting) story as a continuation of a previous series. The antagonist who provided the drive for the first half is also reduced to complete insignifigance. This sort of storytelling is not only bad, it is inexcusable.
