I can't say I agree with the review of Spider Robinson.  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.
