There may be a plot somewhere in this mess, but the ick factor of the incestuous sexual themes and descriptions and the seemingly endless focus on repetitious, badly presented and poorly written sexual encounters, whether they advanced the story or not, thoroughly defeated any effort it made to surface.
I loved his books up to and including Glory Road (Audible, please produce it!!), and I fully grokked "grok." This piece of trash almost ruined all of them for me. My first hardback purchased as a child in the 50's was by RAH. Sad, Awful, Cringe-worthy, High Ick Factor! I listen to erotica from time to time and I have several reviews available on the books I have listened to, so I have no problem with sex, I just think these manuals on incest are sick. I think it is obvious to most normal people that Heinlein was a sexual deviant and I am amazed that these books ever got published. I wonder if he thought that was perverted. I don't want to see it, but I have noticed that RAH never has a boy who wants to sleep with his mom. He tells her to keep his conversations with her about sex a secret from her mother. He also tells his daughter that adultery is good. She not only has her dad's blessing, but he encourages her. In this book a girl born in the late 1800's sets out to lose her virginity at the age of 15. Counting the Heinlein I started after this book, I have read three Heinlein's in a row, in which a female character, states that her dad sexually excites her and that he could have her in bed anytime he wants.
