New Heinlein Novel

Posted by michael on from the you-read-that-right dept.

book_reader writes "It's hard to believe but the grand master of sci-fi is back - 15 years or so after his death. His first novel that he wrote in the mid 30's and long since thought lost was rediscovered and will be coming out in November! The thought of a novel he wrote so early in his writing career boggles my mind but who will be able to resist - not I!"

  1. Awesome, can't wait to read it. by dood · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Thank god, because I thought his last novel wasn't up to par. Will Jack Ryan be back this time? I heard this one focuses more on his son, Jack Ryan, Jr.

  2. What a whiny little twit you are. by schmaltz · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Heinlein explored many fascinating non-sexual themes in many of the books you mentioned.. Considering it's a genre whose stereotype protagonist almost NEVER gets laid (like yourself, perhaps?), AND many of those novels were written during the SEXUAL REVOLUTION, what on earth are you complaining about, you conservative-sounding prude?

    why do i even bother? bitchslap that idiot's karma.

    Oh, that would explain it. I don't particularly care for science fiction, other than the watered down variety we get in the theaters. And don't talk to me about culture. I'm sure the guy is a wonderfully prolific sci-fi hack, but when you were reading his books and being cultured (like bacteria), I was feeling up some fine-ass titties and getting blown.

    Oh, and Starship Troopers (the movie) sucked ass.
