After reading Mindkiller, my impression was, "this guy writes just like Heinlein - only not as well." R.A.H. is Robinson's personal hero. Robinson even thinks the Number of the Beast was a great book. It's no wonder he copies the style exactly. But if you want that style, read the master himself, at least in his older stores. I have also met Robinson at a Con, and didn't find him that impressive. Just my opinion, of course. -- Brad Templeton, Looking Glass Software Ltd. - Waterloo, Ontario 519/884-7473
