Story
After the fall of the American Ayatollahs as foretold in Stranger in a Strange Land and chronicled in Revolt in 2100, the United States of America at last fulfills the promise inherent in its first Revolution: for the first time in human history there is a nation with Liberty and Justice for All. No one may seize or harm the person or property of another, or invade his privacy, or force him to do his bidding. Americans are fiercely proud of their re-won liberties and the blood it cost them; nothing could make them forswear those truths they hold self-evident. Nothing except the promise of immortality…

Story
The totalitarian East has triumphed in a massive invasion, and the United States has fallen to a dictatorial superpower bent on total domination. That power is consolidating its grip through concentration camps, police state tactics, and a total monopoly upon the very thoughts of the conquered populace. A tiny enclave of scientists and soldiers survives, unbeknownst to America’s new rulers. It’s six against six million - but those six happen to include a scientific genius, a master of subterfuge and disguise who learned his trade as a lawyer-turned-hobo, and a tough-minded commander....

Robert A. Heinlein is widely and justly regarded as the greatest practitioner of the art of science fiction who has ever lived. Here are two of his greatest short novels: Gulf, in which the greatest super-spy of them all is revealed as the leader of a league of supermen and women who can’t quite decide what to do with the rest of us. And Lost Legacy, in which it is proved that we are all members of that league - or would be, if we but had eyes to see.

Time Enough for Love is the capstone and crowning achievement of Heinlein's famous Future History series. Lazarus Long is so in love with life that he simply refuses to die. Born in the early 1900s, he lives through multiple centuries, his love for time ultimately causing him to become his own ancestor. Time Enough for Loveis his lovingly detailed account of his journey through a vast and magnificent timescape of centuries and worlds. Using the voice of Lazarus, Heinlein expounds his own philosophies, including his radical ideas on sexual freedom.

One of Heinlein's best-loved works, The Rolling Stones follows the rollicking adventures of the Stone family as they tour the solar system. It doesn't seem likely for twins to have the same middle name. Even so, it's clear that Castor and Pollux Stone both have "Trouble" written in that spot on their birth certificates. Of course, anyone who's met their grandmother Hazel would know they came by it honestly.

Classic Heinlein
This book fills in some crucial parts of Heinleins overall timeline. He refers back to the events of this book in several others and it's interesting to fill in the gaps. Otherwise it's classic Heinlein with interesting characters and moral conundrums. Similar to Starship Troopers the main character gets sucked into a larger movement because of a woman and ends up transforming into something he never expected. Great book overall.

Heinlein's Future History
Robert A Heinlein had a long and extensive future history mapped out in his mind. Many of his short stories and some of his novels fit into this future history. There are three book-length collections of his future history short stories. The first is "The Man Who Sold the Moon." It is not yet available from Audible. "The Green Hills of Earth" is next and it is my favorite of the three. It is available from Audible. The third is this book, "Revolt in 2100." It contains a novella called "If This Goes On" and two short stories: "Coventry" and "Misfit." It is not necessary to read the stories in order to enjoy them.
The first story in this book, "If This Goes On" takes place in a future America which is under the rule of a theocracy headed by a corrupt prophet. Think of Medieval Europe as controlled by the corrupt Catholic church and then add in modern snooping and surveillance techniques and wait for your blood to curdle. Let's hear it for separation of church and state!
The second story, "Coventry," is about a different way of handling lawbreakers in the future. The third story deals with the building of a space station halfway between Earth and Mars.
These stories were written in 1939 and 1940, so in some ways they are dated. However, Heinlein's ideas and philosophy seem to me to be still quite relevant. I had not reread this book in a number of years, and as I was listening to it, I realized how much Heinlein's ideas (which I first encountered as a teenager) have shaped my entire life.
I recommend both this book and Heinlein's works in general to you.

Terrible audio quality
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
No. The audio volume seems to go up and down, making for a very frustrating listening experience, especially in an environment with some background noise, such as a car.
What did you like best about this story?
Heinlein's style
Would you be willing to try another one of Eric Michael Summerer’s performances?
Not unless I can sample it first. His narration was fine, but the quality of the audio file was not.
Could you see Revolt in 2100 being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?
Please no.
Any additional comments?

Small problem ....
Revolt in 2100 ended abruptly. Not sure is the total end.
What then followed was a short story untitled about Andrew Libby, another of Heinlrin’s characters in other books.
I’m confused. Could you explain to me please. Only bothering to write this as Audible is a huge favorite of mine. Please respond.

Overthrowing theocratic authoritarian government
Robert A Heinlein's Revolt in 2100 is a collection consisting of a short novel followed by two short stories. The novel offers a theocratic authoritarian government and describes the transition of an initially loyal and reverent bodyguard of the prophet as he gradually becomes part of the resistance as the corrupt nature of the ruling class is revealed. The two short stories describe life following the successful revolution and offer two distinct views on the pitfalls of any form of government as well as the lack of government.
While released as a collection in 50's, Heinlein wrote these tales in the late 30's to early 40's and reflect the global sour mood in the run up to WWII. While the different styles and approaches to government seem distinct, they all share the common feature of caring little for the public and effect processes and rituals of convenience and maintenance of the ruling class. Heinlein seems to have concluded that humans can always be depended upon for self-interest.
The narration is reasonable with decent character distinction and quick pacing.

Too Much Piety is More Harmful Then Too Little
IF THIS GOES ON
The book starts with this 6 and a half hour novella. To me it is a great study in religion and what can happen if you don't have separation of Church and State. John Lyle is a lovable innocent character. At West Point he got top marks in piety and he was sinfully proud to be in the holiest regiment of the Prophet's host. As the story starts he is not without sin for he had looked with longing on a consecrated female. Until then the only female he had known was his mother.
OPERATION CHUCKLEHEAD
As, in most cases, a female starts the downfall in his religion. At first we are amazed in how innocent he is, and how strong he is in his faith, and then how quickly he falls when a woman is involved. Some may believe this to be too fast, but I can still remember as a youth, the affect my first love had on me.
I CAN NOT STAND CHEERFULNESS BEFORE BREAKFAST
The first eight chapters are real good, thought provoking and pure Heinlein. The next seven chapters are mostly shoot him up and the rebellion just going through the motions. I also thought the story lost some of it's continuity in these chapters.
COVENTRY
This hour long story, takes place years after the rebellion and we see the results. The individual that Jon Krakauer wrote about in "Into the Wild" should have read this, it might have saved his life.
Misfit
This hour long story is mostly the nuts and bolts of living in space and or on an asteroid. Those who like the mechanics of space travel will enjoy this.
All in all this was not bad, but I still like The Green Hills of Earth, Starship Troopers, Starman Jones, Double Star and Have Spacesuit Will Travel better.
