Comments: In 1987, the Libertarian Futurist Society, for the second time, inducted a pretty lousy Ayn Rand book and a pretty good Robert A. Heinlein book into their Hall of Fame. The fact that these authors had a second round of books inducted isn't that surprising, as their works are widely regarded as being the cornerstones of libertarian science fiction. What is surprising is the amount of time it took for the Prometheus Awards to get around to honoring a second round of books from this pair of authors.
