“Fans of Heinlein’s trademark blend of space-bound high adventure and serous political philosophy will feel right at home in the third and final book of Gerrold’s series detailing the adventure of Charles “Chigger” Dingillian.”—Publishers Weekly
“Gerrold has a fresh voice and the skill to realize such things as a magnetic star drive and colonies built from mud. Charlie’s coming-of-age debates with the relativistic HARLIE are also intriguing—even rather touching.”—Booklist
Having divorced his parents and escaped to the moon, Charles and his brothers find themselves faced with most difficult decision. Unable to return to Earth, where do they go? One option is the distant Earth colony Outbeyond. Complicating matters, he and HARLIE—a state of the art intelligence unit—have become valuable commodities in a Free Luna movement. A hijacking aboard ship, however, and suspicion’s of HARLIE’S true motives could doom the brothers’ bid for freedom . . . forever.
“Gerrold’s conclusion to the story begun in Jumping Off the Planet and continued in Bouncing Off the Moon features more derring-do in the style of early Heinlein. A good choice for adult sf collections.”—Library Journal
