Synopsis
Glory Road is a fantasy novel by Robert A. Heinlein, originally serialized in The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction (July - September 1963) and published in hardcover later the same year. Heinlein himself reported that the book only took several weeks and was a lot of fun to write; some of his other works, such as Stranger in a Strange Land and The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress, required several years and were relatively difficult. Glory Road was nominated for the Hugo Award in 1964.

One of my favorite books of all time. It has everything a 12 to 16 year old reader could want although there are some slightly adult bits. I'm planning to re-read it [40 years on] for the nostalgia.
