Thanks for the tip.
I haven't gotten to it but I'm pretty sure I have it around.

That whole "what does the hero do after saving the world" theme is one of the things that hooked me on Heinlein. (Second book of his I ever read was BEYOND THIS HORIZON. I really identified with his protagonist on that one. )
