Quote:
BEST NOVEL OF THE YEAR, BRITISH FANTASY SOCIETY • Discover the magical beginning of Piers Anthony’s enthralling Xanth series

Xanth was the enchanted land where magic ruled—where every citizen had a special spell only he could cast. It was a land of centaurs and dragons and basilisks.

For Bink of North Village, however, Xanth was no fairy tale. He alone had no magic. And unless he got some—and got some fast!—he would be exiled. Forever. But the Good Magician Humfrey was convinced that Bink did indeed have magic. In fact, both Beauregard the genie and the magic wall chart insisted that Bink had magic. Magic as powerful as any possessed by the King or by Good Magician Humfrey—or even by the Evil Magician Trent.

Be that as it may, no one could fathom the nature of Bink’s very special magic. Bink was in despair. This was even worse than having no magic at all . . . and he would still be exiled!

Robert A. Heinlein's Red Planet (the Kindle edition).

In the email from Phoenix Pick:
Quote:
Happy Autumn!

And to celebrate, we have a pre-order special on Amazon (only) for Robert A. Heinlein's Red Planet (the Kindle edition). The release date is October 17th, with a regular price of $6.99. You can lock in a price of $2.99 if you order now.

Amazon

Why only the Kindle edition for pre-order? We distribute our books through various channels, and right now we could only do the pre-order though Amazon.
This appears to be a US only offer.

What is the deal with the alternate endings for Heinlein titles?

A few pages back in this thread, Podkayne of Mars is indicated as having alternate endings. Now the blurb for the coming release (two posts up) of Red Planet says the same thing - it has had its original ending restored.

Were these originally written for adults, and then given "nicer" endings for kids, or something?

Wikipedia says both were rewritten at the publisher's insistence.

Spoiler:

Quote:
In Heinlein's original ending, Podkayne is killed. This did not please his publisher, who demanded and got a rewrite over the author's bitter objections. In a letter to Lurton Blassingame, his literary agent, Heinlein complained that it would be like "revising Romeo and Juliet to let the young lovers live happily ever after." He also declared that changing the end "isn't real life, because in real life, not everything ends happily."
Quote:
As with Podkayne of Mars, there are two versions of the ending. As originally written (and published much later) it is made clear that Willis will not emerge as an adult for forty years. This was edited and changed by Heinlein's publishers, as was a discussion early in the novel in which MacRae expresses strong support for adults and older children being free to carry handguns, and opposition to any government which would restrict that.
