Bullet for a StarBullet for a Star by Stuart M. Kaminsky



A breezy detective yarn, set in Hollywood's golden age. Lots (!) of name dropping and cameo appearances from notables of days gone by.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What a crazy idea, the US controlled by a xenophobic, intolerant religious dictatorship - where do these SF writers get their ideas??? (glances at newspaper) Oh, right.

This is classic Heinlein and sadly, sadly prescient.

“As for the second notion, the idea that we could lose our freedom by succumbing to a wave of religious hysteria, I am sorry to say that I consider it possible. I hope that it is not probable. But there is a latent deep strain of religious fanaticism in this our culture; it is rooted in our history”

Terrific! Both a personal and a political memoir that gave me a chance to better know a fascinating man. I'm happy to say he's my senator!
