The eleventh installment in Heinlein's juvenile series published at Scribner's between 1947 and 1958. "Emphasis is not on characterization or incident, but explaining alternate ways of organizing society, and dramatizing distinction between owning and controlling, having power and using it. Early instance of using juvenile science fiction for explaining and pushing ideas rather than merely relating exciting incidents." (Barron: Anatomy of Wonder [1976] 319)
