Synopsis

Bill knew his destiny lay in the stars, but how was he to get there? George Lemer was shipping out for Ganymede to join the fledgling colony, and Bill wanted to go along. But his father would not hear of it - far too dangerous a mission! Bill finally talked his way aboard the colony ship Mayflower - and discovered his father was right!

About this title

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. 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. But one of the nice things about Robert Heinlein is that he's got something for everyone. One of my best friends has a different favorite: Podkayne of Mars. Go figure.
