A classic novel from the mind of the storyteller who captures the imagination of readers from around the world, and across two generations. The final exam for Dr. Matson’s Advanced Survival class was meant to be just that: only a test. But something has gone terribly wrong…and now Rod Walker and his fellow students are stranded somewhere unknown in the universe, beyond contact with Earth, at the other end of a tunnel in the sky. Stripped of all comforts, hoping for a passage home that may never appear, the castaways must band together or perish. For Rod and his fellow survivors, this is one test where failure is not an option….
Though none of Heinlein’s students quite match the rapport I enjoyed with Mat Dodson, this managed to be a very neatly told story with a lot going for it to capture a young person. Of course you do have to be a very particular type of younger adult to enjoy these. SO if you like the style this is a very worthy addition.
