Overall Life-Line is a solid story, it’s excellent in every way a Heinlein story excels, and is quite worth the short time it takes to read it.Įste relato fue mi primer acercamiento con el autor a pesar de ser un escritor tan conocido aun no había tenido la oportunidad de poder leerlo. In addition Heinlein takes the time to really consider what would need to happen for the predictions to exist, and what it will affect. Does the technique work? How does it work? Is it accurate? Each question the reader will have gets explored in due time. The reader is brought on not knowing anything more than the majority of people in the story. The basis of the story is a man who claims he has discovered a way to accurately predict when a person will die. Every line is great, every page is oozing with content, and the story is just perfection. It’s only 20 pages, and yet one of the most compelling short story I’ve read. Life-Line is the perfect example of his work. Heinlein is one of my favorite authors, almost everything I’ve read of his is top notch.
Heinlein was his first published short story and launched an illustrious career.
