Time For The Stars by Robert A. Heinlein

5.0

This is probably the first science fiction book I ever read. Now, more than four decades later, I’ve revisited it and can fully understand why I so quickly formed a love for the genre. This tale of telepathic twins, one aboard a space vessel on an exploratory mission, the other left on Earth and rapidly ageing thanks to the laws of relativity, is tremendous. Heinlein was fast approaching his peak period when this was written—transitioning from juvenilia to more adult stories. This sort of spans both. It's not in any way groundbreaking, but it's an interesting story very, very well told.
