Beyond This Horizon by Robert A. Heinlein

Despite some definite signs of age, as well as a tendency to the pedantic, the book remains highly readable. With his traditional hard-boiled detective voice, Hamilton makes an engaging hero. When he's not avoiding reproduction, Hamilton plays at being a millionaire entrepreneur (his genetic mix gives him great intelligence and he's a whiz with money) and a spy/counterspy for the government (foiling a plot to overthrow the government keeps him hopping). Nor does he intend to continue with the experiment that his progenitors were so keen on, since he doesn't want children. Hamilton has a body filled with some of the best characteristics that man can have, and the only problem is that he doesn't give a darn. The plot centers on Hamilton Felix, whose genetic makeup has been recorded, tracked and tweaked for over five generations to make his genetic pool one of several 'Star line' groups. On the plus side, it does contain good, sound genetics that later scientific advances haven't significantly outmoded. Big mistake! The revolutionaries are about to find out that recruiting a superman was definitely not a good idea….Heinlein equals-kitsch? First published in 1942, this reprint title by one of the masters of modern science fiction is not one of his best efforts, with its dated '40s jargon, a ham-fisted attempt at romance and a plot that really doesn't go anywhere. Knowing of Hamilton’s disenchantment with the modern world, they have recruited him to join their Glorious Revolution. A secret cabal of revolutionaries who find utopia not just boring, but desperately in need of leaders who know just What Needs to be Done, are planning to revolt and put themselves in charge. However, Hamilton’s life is about to become less boring. And this ultimate man can see no reason why the human race should survive, and has no intention of continuing the pointless comedy. Hamilton is, as far as genetics can produce one, the ultimate man. And he is the culmination of a star line each of his last thirty ancestors chosen for superior genes. And applied genetics has given men and women the bodies of athletes and a lifespan of over a century. For centuries, disease, hunger, poverty and war have been things found only in the history tapes.
