"IF THIS GOES ON—" The Second American Revolution unfolds in the course of this novel where John Lyle, West Point graduate and now a guard at the Prophet's stronghold, comes to realize that "secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy . . . censorship." After he joins an underground movement to overthrow the U.S. government, John learns much along the way about courage, subversion -- (a fellow conspirator tells him, "There is magic in words, black magic—if you know how to invoke it") – and sacrifice.
"Coventry" takes place years after America's Second Revolution and posits a benevolent but strongly monitored new society, with its own rules and surveillance arm.
"Misfit" concerns a young genius who averts disaster in a mission to bring a small asteroid closer to Earth.
The author's essay about Future History stories he won't write provides an entertaining look at Heinlein's richly imagined world.
