New Heinlein Novel
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!"
Never heard of him.
Spread the RC luvin'
The sci-fi gods of the past have come to reclaim the present and shape the future! RUN FOR COVER!
A blog like any other.
Read the article, bozo.
It's a dirty book.
Big Brother Bush is doubleplus ungood.
death is often the best career booster for some people... take hendrix for example.

Wow, never say never...
Heinlein's got another book...
Celine Dion came out of retirement...
Cher had her comeback tour...
I'd given up waiting for a sequel of "From Justin to Kelly" but this story has nenewed my hope!
I found it down the back of a sofa that I bought from the ex wife of the cousin of the guy that fixed the car of Heinlein's dentist's cleaning lady.
You can have it for a million bucks. I'll donate the money to, uh, space or something.
If you were blocking sigs, you wouldn't have to read this.

I'll bet he smells kind of bad.
Does this satisfy the definition of ironic?
Wow, science fiction from the 30's. It will be an interesting read just to see the perspective of someone in the 30's: By 1950 everyone will be driving flying rocket cars. By 1970 the world will be destroyed by war, by 1990 a new race of ape-people will take over the planet. By 2003 the war against the apes will have been won, and the whole galaxy will be colonized by humans! Cool!
If so, who owns the copyright?
shh, your wake up SCO.
Read it in bed next time you're sick. Everyone knows that it's not a sin to read bad literature when you have a head cold.
Heinlein was into incestuous consensual patriarchal discipline dom-sum fetishism, fool!
Wait, I might be thinking about Stephen R. Donaldson. Which one sets their daddy-daughter fucking in rocketships?
If you were blocking sigs, you wouldn't have to read this.
When the copyright expires, can anyone please put the PDF online? ;)
I've been thinking for a while that next year's Hugos ought to include a special award for Most Prolific Dead Author. The runaway winner would be Marion Zimmer Bradley, but it's nice to know that Heinlein would be in the running too.
I think you're being overly harsh, the post to which you were responding was written during the SEXUAL COUNTER-REVOLUTION. (currently in progress, started about 1982 when HIV was discovered).
.
I make no judgements either way. Both "movements" went too far in their respective directions. Both have their zealots, who really ought to be shot.
Funny thing is, back in college, there was this group of people I hung with, and these girls were like all googly over Heinlein, and how great his books were, and said that they based their lives off of "Stranger in a Strange Land" - etc. I read the book, and thought, wow, I'm freinds with these girls, they like this book, we party together all the time, yet none of them ever get naked. .
(it's the chicks who are into Gor books who will get naked).
These are my friends, See how they glisten. See this one shine, how he smiles in the light.
