"Lazarus Long has seen it all. At more than 2300 years old, the patriarch of the Howard families is the oldest living human, a man who has borne witness to many of the pivotal events in history, from our first tentative forays into space to the great Diaspora of humanity across the scattered stars. Requested to leave a record of his collected wisdom, he looks back across all the centuries of his life. With caustic wit and wry honesty, he spins out his remarkable stories like a futuristic Arabian Nights" --Front jacket flap.

Robert Anson Heinlein was an American science fiction writer. Often called "the dean of science fiction writers", he was one of the most popular, influential, and controversial authors of the genre. He set a high standard for science and engineering plausibility and helped to raise the genre's standards of literary quality. He was one of the first writers to break into mainstream, general magazines such as The Saturday Evening Post, in the late 1940s, with unvarnished science fiction. He was among the first authors of bestselling, novel-length science fiction in the modern, mass-market era. For many years, Heinlein, Isaac Asimov, and Arthur C. Clarke were known as the "Big Three" of science fiction. ([Source](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_A._Heinlein).)
