Publisher Description

Robert A. Heinlein has written some of the bestselling science fiction novels of all time, including the beloved classic Stranger in a Strange Land. Now, in The Cat Who Walks through Walls, he creates 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.

    " This book absolutely rocked... right up until the last chapter. He completely lost me with the end. I wish RAH was still alive so I could ask him what he was intending with this ending.90% of this book is a fantastic story.Doc "

    " Not one of my favorite Heinlein books, but still interesting. I was really into this one until the major plot twist with about 100 pages to go. Heinlein always creates characters that I find intriguing and likable, but the ending just didn't do anything for me. "

    " Oh God! Fun story, I guess, but the most insipid damn characters ever. As much as Heinlein seems to thing about women, he certainly can't write them. On the good side, there are some interesting ideas in the book, but they are most often developed in long, preachy monologues. Meh. "

    " Ok. Fun play on contemporary stuff and literary characters. Male-female relations typical of Heinlein.Theme of time travel and changing past events to make future better. "
