![]() ![]() Double Star, I think, does the job pretty well. My (self-imposed) mission was to find a Robert Heinlein story where the enjoyment of the tale isn't swamped by the offensive content for which Heinlein is, unfortunately, well known. But somehow one appearance as a double leads to another, and another. Larry's first task: fool the Martians during a vitally important Martian adoption ceremony. ![]() He promptly finds himself whisked off to the planet Mars, standing in for one of the most important political figures in the solar system, who has been kidnapped. In Double Star, a 1956 Robert Heinlein novella, Lawrence Smith (aka Lorenzo Smythe or "Lorenzo the Great"), an out-of-work actor, accepts a job to impersonate a man for a few days, without, perhaps, asking as many questions about the job as he should have. Review also posted at Fantasy Literature. ![]()
