Heinlein's "Starman Jones" coming to Baen
While looking at Baen's Webscriptions page, I was delighted to see that "Starman Jones" is being released in the October bundle. One of my very favourite Heinleins!

Awesome! I love Baen...and Heinlein. Thanks for the heads-up. I've been slowly buying the back-bundles and don't always think to check what's out in the newer ones.

To answer my own question, I see it's in the Kindle store, so it evidently is. Have to add that one to my "must buy" list! I also see that "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress" is listed as "Available to Pre-Order".

I see that "Space Cadet" isn't on your missing list, Ralph. Who sells that?

Drat - "Space Cadet" seems not be be available in the UK. Hopefully that'll change in due course.

The early Heinleins are among my favourite SF books, especially the "Juveniles". I didn't like his later stuff, though. It got a bit weird.

Totally agree. His writing got better but his characters became bizarre. The Juveniles are excellent stories with strong and admirable protagonists.

I'm the opposite. While I like them all... I much prefer the later stuff.

I read all of his "juvenile" novels (10?) back just before I was a teenager and loved them. I credit Heinlein as a major force in getting me interested in reading Sci-Fi.

“How to Write the First 3 Paragraphs of YOUR Indie Novel” - by Max Waxwelp
1) Always write 3 sentences of exposition; 2) now create some dialogue, preferably no more than 2 sentences; and 3) make certain the dialogue is either inane or humorous. Example:
“Bob, I did not know you wore yellow suspenders,” Sally remarked.
“Gee, Sally, those are not suspenders. I am wearing yellow underwear today,” Bob revealed.
The dialogue above will help produce at least 100 more pages of dialogue.

There is a quite good Audible version of this, Harry. I recently "read" it, and found it as compelling as when I was a youth.

The Juveniles got me started, but I continued to enjoy even his later ones.

I devoured every one in both my local public library, and the school library in my early teens. And I've been a life-long SciFi reader ever since.
