Summary: A young man comes of age
Comment: One of my favorite Heinlein books, Citizen of the Galaxy shows how Thorby searches for his place in society. The big problem is, the society he lives in keeps changing as he's uprooted from his mysterious apartment under the old ruins, through billets on two very different star ships, coming full circle to Rudbek on earth.
Brings a tear to my eye every time I read about Thorby's search for his identity, his growth from boyhood to man's responsibilities.
Perhaps Heinlein's best boy's book.

Summary: Citizen of the Galaxy
Comment: Without a doubt, this book helped shape my life as an adult. I first read this book as a young teen, and imagined myself in the roll of Thorby. As I grew I realized just how important a roll model and father Baslim was to Thorby. While taking Thorby into his life, by purchasing him as a slave, Baslim always treated him as a son. Teaching him right from wrong and impressing his values upon him. Baslim gave his life for his son and in doing so, set him free.
Thorby was again adopted by the Captain of a free trader ship, the Sisu. While there he grew and matured, becoming part of another larger family. But a message that Thorby carried from his father, delivered to the Captain required that Thorby be delivered to the Hegemonic Guard. Baslim's hope is that they could identify Thorby and deliver him to his real family. Little known to anyone that Thorby is really the only survivor of one of Earth's richest most powerful families.
When identified he is returned to Earth, only to find that he is more a slave there than he was as a child living with Baslim... Thor(by) now realizes that his own company is deeply involved in the slave trade and works undercover with the Guard to help distroy the slave trade, all the while becoming a slave to his company, power and wealth.
