Lost Legacy is a captivating novella by Robert A. Heinlein, exploring human potential and psychic abilities. The plot follows three friends who rediscover dormant telepathic and telekinetic powers in a near-future America. Along the way, they encounter the legendary writer Ambrose Bierce, who reveals a hidden community of superpowered individuals living in the caves of Mount Shasta.
Heinlein's writing style in this early work is concise and engaging, effectively packing a rich narrative into a short form. The story begins strongly but wavers slightly as it progresses.
