Recovering from combat duty, E.C. "Scar" Gordon encounters a beautiful, sensual woman who sweeps him from this universe into another that seems far more dangerous... Dragons, hostile guards and strange customs are just some of the challenges confronting Gordon, who must respond with courage, skill and grace.
Heinlein's wit, wisdom, social commentary and humor are on full display in this brilliant fantasy novel that presents other worlds to illuminate and evaluate our own.
Called "a triumph" by the Chicago Tribune, The Reader's Guide to Fantasy wrote "GLORY ROAD is a tour de force performance that delights lovers of both fantasy and science fiction."
Sample quotes from Scar Gordon in GLORY ROAD:
"Logic is a way of saying that anything which didn't happen yesterday won't happen tomorrow."
"An insult is like a drink; it affects one only if accepted."
"A man who always obeys the law is even stupider than one who breaks it every chance."
"The person who says smugly that good manners are the same everywhere and people are just people hasn't been farther out of Podunk than the next whistle stop."
