Title: Heinlein the ideologue overwhelms Heinlein the storyteller
Review: This book shares much in common with "Number of the Beast". Both begin with the hero pursued by unidentified nasties. He quickly acquires a loving but mysterious wife, then runs for his life for a couple of hundred pages, with you turning pages quickly to see how it turns out. Then it gets weird.Heinlein's love late in his life of multipersonality soliphism (we made the universe up between us.) overwhelms the story and plot, characterization, and everything else just dissolve. Lots of potential wasted.
