He has a way of writing scifi where it is a 'down to earth' story, so to say, but still very interesting. He's very good at writing characters, and good at staying away from making them unbeliveable, which really helps. He also has a knack for flowing easily, without relying on the god in the machine to the push plot forward.
Yes, I've got 5 Heinlein audio books - The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, Methuselah's Children, Glory Road, Farmer in the Sky and Starship Trooper. IMPO, all his early works are very, very good. The big issue that I've found is that the quality of narrator can vary quite a bit ranging from very good (Bronson Pichot did Glory Road and Nick Podehl did Farmer in the Sky) to average. What did you think of the narrator for Between Planets?
