The Door Into Summer
The Door Into Summer | Robert A. Heinlein
5 posts | 20 read | 8 to read
When Dan Davis is crossed in love and stabbed in the back by his business associates, the immediate future doesn't look too bright for him and Pete, his independent-minded tomcat. Suddenly, the lure of suspended animation, the Long Sleep, becomes irresistible and Dan wakes up 30 years later in the 21st century, a time very much to his liking. The discovery that the robot household appliances he invented have been mass produced is no surprise, but the realization that, far from having been stolen from him, they have, mysteriously, been patented in his name is. There's only one thing for it. Dan somehow has to travel back in time to investigate. He may even find Pete...and the girl he really loves.

Best time travel story ever! I read this for the first time back when the paperback was $1.75. That was many moons ago. As I‘ve traveled through time (the slow way, and always forward) I‘ve returned to it often. It‘s got a cat! Guess what door it‘s searching for? #oldschoolscifi

Husband: "Why are you bringing a book to the football game?"

Me: "I've been caught out in the world without a book before, and it was terrible. NEVER AGAIN."

Poor pupper thinks her human should like the outside more. But the books are inside where it's cool, pupper.

With copyright 1957, who needs new sci fi when you have so many gems from Heinlein? Easy to comprehend for non- scientists, and full of futuristic ideas along with a cat, robots and time travel. I will be searching for these wherever I hunt for used books.

Lynnsoprano I read a lot of Heinlein in the 70s, but never read this one. On the stack it goes😊 7y
SaraFair @Lynnsoprano - which do you remember liking? 7y
Lynnsoprano @SaraFair My favorites were I Will Fear No Evil and Stranger in a Strange Land. Although it's close to 40 years since I read them. But I Will Fear No Evil is one of those stories that has just stuck with me. 7y
