A novel by
RobertHeinlein
Heinlein's last book. The culmination of the saga of
LazarusLong and his extended family.
In the end, characters from most of the books Heinlein wrote during his life are gathered together on the planet Tertius, including characters from incompatible "realities".
Title taken from (or referring to, however you want to look at it) Alfred, Lord Tennyson's poem
Ulysses.
Relevant excerpt (lines 58-61):
Push off, and sitting well in order smite
The sounding furrows; for my purpose holds
To sail beyond the sunset, and the baths
Of all the western stars, until I die.
