Time Enough for Love (by Robert A. Heinlein)

TIME ENOUGH FOR LOVE by Robert A. Heinlein (unabridged) is presented by Blackstone Audio and comes with what is perhaps the best audiobook app available (see FEATURES, below).

Lazarus Long is so in love with life that he simply refuses to die. Born in the early 1900s, he lives through multiple centuries. Time Enough for Love is his lovingly detailed account of his journey through a vast and magnificent timescape of centuries and worlds. Time Enough for Love is the capstone and crowning achievement of Heinlein’s famous Future History series. Using the voice of Lazarus, Heinlein expounds his own philosophies, including his radical ideas on sexual freedom. His use of slang, technical jargon, sharp wit, and clever understatement lend this story a texture and authority that seems the very tone of things to come.

Self-contained, this audiobook app is perfect for your commute, on a trip, or while relaxing. Based on a library-quality recording, this app was built especially for your iPhone and iPod Touch.

“Written as a memoir and narrated with gusto, this saga is both delightful and entertaining. Lloyd James breathes life into Heinlein’s characters with an arsenal of onomatopoeia and vocal ranges from machismo to sultry…James’ talent for dialogue will make a Heinlein fan of anyone.” (AudioFile)

“As read by James, each tiny emotional nuance is delicately shaded with insight and understanding, bringing the text into an art form verging on theater.” (Booklist)
