About this listen

 Robert A. Heinlein wrote some of the best-selling science-fiction novels of all time, including the beloved classic Stranger in a Strange Land. In The Cat Who Walks through Walls, he created his most compelling character ever: Dr. Richard Ames, ex-military man, sometime writer, and unfortunate victim of mistaken identity.

When a stranger attempting to deliver a cryptic message is shot dead at his dinner table, Ames is thrown headfirst into danger, intrigue, and other dimensions where Lazarus Long still thrives, where Jubal Harshaw lives surrounded by beautiful women, and where a daring plot to rescue the sentient computer called Mike can change the direction of all human history.

Critic Reviews

"Dialogue as witty as Oscar Wilde's, action as rollicking as Edgar Rice Burroughs', and satire as spicy as Jonathan Swift's." ( New York Times)

Excellent!

It's has been delightful to revisit "the cat who walks through walls". I favourite from a favourite author of my youth. Now off to explore, Number of the Beast, Stranger in a Strange Land and I will Fear no Evil. They will all score a Pixel 'blurt'.

Possibly his worst work

I'm a huge Heinlein fan but this really didn't cut the mustard for me. I was dubious during the first chapter and had to abandon it by the 4th. The characters are uninteresting and unlikable and the story feels contrived and churned out. If you haven't read Stranger in a Strange Land or The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress then absolutely read them instead.
