Audio Book Review: A Rolling Stone gathers no moss…especially in Space.

The Rolling Stones

Written by Robert A. Heinlein.

Narrated by Tom Weiner.

This is a relatively delightful piece from the author of Stranger in a Strange Land, Girl Friday and Starship Troopers. The Rolling Stones, sans Mick and Keith, is a story about the family Stone living in the Lunar Colony. Sporting a family of six plus Grandma they purchase a small cargo cruiser to tour the solar system and have adventures while discovering things.

Comes across like Father Knows Best meets Lost in Space with real science fiction-fact. The rockets are all NERVAs using Hydrogen as the propellant of choice. They use Hohmann Transfer Orbits to maximize fuel efficiency and experience real zero gravity issues.

A fun work and though dated still reads true. Three out of five entertainment units.
