THE GLORY ROAD
led beyond the stars to a far, strange dimension - a world of peril, adventure and enchantment for a war-weary young American. The elements of epic in the great tradition are here - but changed by the talent and magic of Robert Heinlein to create a story as original and striking as his classic STRANGER IN A STRANGE LAND.

ROBERT A. HEINLEIN was born in Missouri in 1907, and graduated from Annapolis - where he was a champion swordsman - in 1929, serving on active duty in the Navy for the next five years. He began writing fiction in 1939, and soon became one of the towering figures of science fiction, winning the coveted "Hugo" award with four of his novels - an unequaled record. Mr. Heinlein now lives in California.

I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
