Heinlein's "Starman Jones" coming to Baen - Page 2

HarryT · 06-25-2011, 12:15 PM

I'm trying to figure out which of the Juveniles are currently available as eBooks. The current situation seems to be as follows:

1. Rocket Ship Galileo, 1947 <-- not available
2. Space Cadet, 1948 <-- available in the US, not UK
3. Red Planet, 1949 <-- not available
4. Between Planets, 1951 <-- Yes (Baen)
5. The Rolling Stones aka Space Family Stone, 1952 <-- Yes (Baen)
6. Farmer in the Sky, 1953 <-- Yes (Baen)
7. Starman Jones, 1953 <-- Available Oct 2011 Baen
8. The Star Beast, 1954 <-- not available
9. Tunnel in the Sky, 1955 <-- not available
10. Time for the Stars, 1956 <-- not available
11. Citizen of the Galaxy, 1957 <-- Yes (Baen)
12. Have Space Suit—Will Travel, 1958 <-- Yes (Baen)

Is that correct?

Nope. I have purchased copies of
Tunnel in the Sky
Orphans of the Sky
Space Cadet
Revolt in 2100
Methuselah's Children
Have Space Suit - Will Travel
Citizen of the Galaxy
Podkayne of Mars
Time for the Stars
Glory Road
Starship Troopers
The Green Hills of Earth and The Menace from Earth
Expanded Universe
The Notebook of Lazarus Long
Farmer in the Sky
Farnham's Freehold
Between Planets
The Puppet Masters
The Rolling Stones.

I'm sure there are some other ebooks available, I'm not as interested in his later ones.

An Inkmesh search turned up 12 sites with Red Planet, but some (like FictionWise) are no longer available. It does still seem to be generally available in the US. It is B0024NP5BK at Amazon.

Thank you. So that leaves only "Rocket Ship Galileo" and "The Star Beast" unavailable as eBooks?

Good news. Starman Jones is a great story with great characters, (ignoring the need for astrogators to have memorised logarithmic tables et al)
