Dear Jonathan & Company, Could you please give me an update on the publishing status of Heart of Danger and Doomsday Horizon from Applewood? Applewood has...
American Web Books has confirmed that Doomsday Horizon and The Heart of Danger will be shipped early next week. Those who ordered both books should receive...
What great news! Who would have thought that I would be eager to venture to a doomsday horizon to enter the heart of danger! Me On Fri, 08 Apr 2005 16:51:08...
Let's see... a story in which some bad guys cooperate with monstrous aliens against Earth, then are taken by the monstrous aliens to the farthest planet in the...
Hi David! You'll have to get up pretty early in the morning to find someplace Heinlein didn't get to first. He must be the original "Kilroy". (as in "was...
... P.S.! --Not to imply that I consider myself or the rest of the Starman Team to be peers of Heinlein!! I know he is way far better at this stuff than I am. ...
Pretty hard to top Heinlein. My understanding is that time travel short stories have pretty much dried up due to his stories written in the forties. It still...
Hi David! I'm not sure I'd agree with that cause and effect. If you buy that, almost all of science fiction would be dried up after Heinlein. Here's a short...
... The reason that Heinlein is not a household name outside of SF literary circles is his refusal to pander and his rocky relationship with Hollywood. His...
Great post, Valerie, in time travel books. I think you must know just about everything or, if not, you know where to find everything out (except that it was...
I probably should have elaborated more with my comment. I remember reading somewhere that after Heinlein's two short stories concerning time travel, there were...
The girl in Project Moonbase is pretty cute though. Makes up for the rest of the movie. I just find it strange that when people in movies or in books list off ...
Cool. I'm mentioned in the 2000th post. There are many of us who are envious at your reading these books for the first time. What two do you have left?...
... The argument I hear the most often is that of promotion: the Syndicate books (Hardy Boys, etc. - books written by a host of paid ghostwriters) were a lot...
My apologies David. I didn't follow the ">" marks closely enough and, so, got the accredition wrong. You'd think by now they'd be able to write an email...
Hi Neil, I think I've seen that quote somewhere too. I suspect it's more like the urban legend about the patent clerk who quit early in the 20th century ...
... Starship Troopers and Podkyne of Mars. I understand that not everyone includes these among his juveniles, but Valerie placed them in that category and...
... that is ... Received the April 16th issue of "Science News" today. Great cover story called "Navigating Celestial Currents"! And it's already available to...
It's actually "Orpans of the Sky" and the juvenile aspect is interesting. Although the main characters are younger, I would hesitate to class this one as a...
... Be advised that there are two versions of PODKAYNE OF MARS, the first being as it was originally published (edited by Herbert L. Gold, 1963) and the other...
... Asimov is cited because he's by far the most prolific author of all time and his SF works constitute only a faction of his published work. He began writing...
... category ... Though not classified with his juveniles, I read "The Puppet Masters" (1951), "Double Star" (1956), and "The Door Into Summer" (1957) at the...
A time travel series which I read about 30 years ago (which is not on Valerie's list) is one by Michael Moorcock. Several books in the series have been ...
Hi David! I may have questioned "Orphans" but I have a strong suspicion that when I did so, I was really thinking of "Citizen of the Galaxy". It's been so...
... That's only because we're faced with a Hobson's Choice: "Junk or Nothing". Given quality programming, I'm sure more people would watch it than would watch...
Dear David, I agree with Valerie that both Starship Troopers and Podkayne of Mars should be considered 'juvenile' novels. The only reason for considering them ...
Wow, it sounds like you are describing me. I am a fountain of useless knowledge, I have a science background, and I am terrible at remembering names, a skill...
... Just to set the record straight, Heinlein never had anything directly to do with "Tom Corbett, Space Cadet." I've done extensive research into this for a...
