Return of Star Beast!
Orson Scott Card finally gets around to reading–and reviewing–the Robert A. Heinlein classic Star Beast, which has apparently been reissued.
I loved Star Beast (along with everything else Heinlein wrote in his “juvenile” period) when I was a kid. And Card agrees with me, which is always nice.
