A novella, the first portion of this reads like a James Bond thriller (perhaps better). ""Elsewhen"" is very minor Heinlein, with almost no characterization and very little plot. It originally appeared in Sept 1941 issue of Astounding (as by 'Caleb Saunders'), ""Lost Legacy"" is the other long piece here, first appearing in the Oct 1941 issue of Super Science Stories (as by 'Lyle Monroe'). ""Jerry was a Man"" is perhaps the story of most relevance to today's world. First appearing in the Oct 1947 issue of Thrilling Wonder Stories, it is a world of genetic engineering marvels.* This is a NEAR FINE copy of the 1st/1st thus with minimal age reducing it to VG++.* This is a NEAR FINE copy of the 1st/1st fnl. with minimal age reducing it to VG++.* 0
