Yes | No“4/4 bookmarks; Great book for Lazarus Long fans, in here we get to see the "beloved" (heh) Senior of the Howard families; get so bored with life that he repeatedly tries to suicide, record his memoirs, raise and fall in love with Dora (the namesake for his ship), lead the colonization of Tertius, inspire a computer to become human, raise, fall in love, and marry his crew who happen to be his daughters but who are really his twin sisters (don't ask), time travel, meet his mother, and die in WWI, and other assorted hijinks, great stuff!”

In a sense, it's kind of like reading "The Vampire Lestat" by Anne Rice, as it provides the first-person perspective of a character which looms large in the collective consciousness of other characters. However, in this case Woodrow Lazarus Long Wilson (aka CPL Ted Bronson) had been a part of quite a few other novels by the time this one had been written. At least, I think so.”
