Heinlein:“If there is any single author who defines science fiction, it is Robert Heinlein there is no other writer whose work has exhilarated me as often and to such an extent as Heinlein.” — Dean Koontz“One of the most influential writers in American literature.” — The New York Times Book Review“Robert Heinlein is America’s acknowledged master of science fiction.” — Chicago Tribune.

Decent But Not Heinlein's Best A classic view of the colonization of a moon of Jupiter, and a little about the problems that a space colonization effort in general would require as it goes from being a tightly controlled science outpost to more of a town. Relies a bit heavily on a not-very-plausible giant energy shield, which was kind of a sloppy assumption even when this book was written, but the plot is interesting. "Recommend for Adults and Younger Readers Alike" according to Eric Beyle. First, I should say that, although Farmer in the Sky is one of Heinlein's "juvenile" works, I still enjoyed it a great deal as an adult reader. The plot was satisfying, the writing was succinct and the emphasis on personal responsibility is as helpful to an adult as to a teenager.That being said, I do wish that I had read this when I was younger. Too much of the young adult literature t. A good read from Heinlein's good period. John Thornton "Farmer in the Sky" is another one of Heinlein's excellent novels. It is set in the "Heinlein solar system" which means Venus and Mars have life. It is about a family trying to be homesteaders on Ganymede as it orbits Jupiter. The descriptions of the sky from the surface of Ganymede are some of the best parts of this well written and engaging stories.If you were ever a Boy Scout, there

From the Publisher Like many people, I go way, way back with Heinlein. My very favorite book (and one that stands out in my mind--and with much affection--to this day) is Tunnel in the Sky. But one of the nice things about Robert Heinlein is that he's got something for everyone. Go figure.                        --Shelly Shapiro, Executive Editor . I really, really wanted to go off to explore new worlds with a covered wagon and horses, like the hero does at the very end of the book. One of my best friends has a different favorite: Podkayne of Mars
