Review of 'Tunnel in the Sky' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Though none of Heinlein's students quite match the rapport I enjoyed with Mat Dodson, this managed to be a very neatly told story with a lot going for it to capture a young person. Of course you do have to be a very particular type of younger adult to enjoy these. SO if you like the style this is a very worthy addition.
