A Vietnam veteran idling away his time on the Isle du Levant, Oscars eye is caught by the most beautiful woman he has ever seen, sleekly muscled and with regal bearing. When she offers him a job with great adventure and great risk he blindly accepts, little realizing just what an incredible trek he has let himself in for: a journey through some of the twenty universes where Star is Empress, on a quest to retrieve the stolen Great Egg. The grandest pure adventure from the genres master storyteller, Glory Road is a masterpiece of escapist entertainment with a typically Heinleinian sting in its tail.
