Between Planets

Robert A. Heinlein

The message had seemed simple, yet it was more complex than Don could have imagined. He was being called from Earth to an alien world for reasons unknown -- save only that his life depended on it.

But setting out for Mars and getting there in good shape turned out to be a lot more complicated than Don ever would have guessed possible.

It was trouble enough being inexplicably hounded by Earth's secret police. But when he was hijacked by Venusian rebels, Don suddenly realized that he was trapped in the center of a war between worlds that could change the fate of the Solar System forever!

Star Beast: Library Edition

Robert A. Heinlein

Lummox had been the Stuart family pet for years. Though far from cuddly and rather large, it had always been obedient and docile. Except, that is, for the time it had eaten the secondhand Buick . . .
But now, all of a sudden and without explanation, Lummox had begun chomping down on a variety of things -- not least, a very mean dog and a cage of virtually indestructible steel. Incredible!
John Thomas and Lummox were soon in awfully hot water, and they didn't know how to get out. And neither one really understood just how bad things were -- or how bad the situation could get -- until some space voyagers appeared and turned a far-from-ordinary family problem into an extraordinary confrontation.

The Rolling Stones

Robert A. Heinlein

When the Stone twins made up their minds to leave Lunar City in a secondhand spaceship, they hadn't planned on having their whole family accompany them. But the Stones were not your ordinary Lunar family -- no way! -- and their voyage through the solar system sure proved it.

What began as a simple business expedition to Mars soon mushroomed into a dangerous situation when Grandma Stone was lost in space. Then, just when everything seemed to be getting better, a Martian flatcat came aboard and fouled up the works.

But the real trouble didn't get underway until the Stones headed for the asteroid belt to take up a mining proposition they, somehow, couldn't refuse . . .

The Notebooks of Lazarus Long

Robert A. Heinlein; D. F. Vassallo

-- Never try to outstubborn a cat. -- A skunk is better company than a person who prides himself on being "frank". -- Waking a person unnecessarily should be considered a capital crime. For a first offense, that is. -- Lazarus Long Lazarus Long, the protagonist of Robert A. Heinlein's masterful science fiction series of "future history" novels, is the oldest living member of the human race. His observations and comments, collected here -- from the smallest details of everyday life to overarching abstractions on the nature of the human condition -- are acute, lively, and intelligent. Long's adventures and experiences, his inexhaustible zest for life, and his ironic appreciation of the successes and failures of civilization make the observations contained in the Notebooks highly entertaining reading. In this book, Long's witty words of wisdom are beautifully illustrated by noted calligrapher Donald F. Vassallo. Excellent visual illustration throughout. Recommended for Heinlein fans. -- The Bookwatch
