Agreed! No one has ever come up to the standard of Robert Anson Heilein! Fell in love with him many years ago.

Actually got to meet him many moons ago while he was researching one of his novels. My (now ex) brother in law was stationed out of Newport News and we went for a ride on a nuclear attack sub.
Can't say more than that, but it was a hell of a 48 hours!
