Entertaining read. I can see why certain of my friends like it. (In the vein of classic Heinlein.)

Unfortunately, either my sensibilities have changed or this one is more misogynistic than others. It's disappointing how his female characters are only there essentially for the male characters to save. (Then they can fall in love with them and etc, etc.) It shows up a lot in Heinlein, but I've overlooked it in the past because I in general enjoy his stories.
