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!"

      I don't think that you can get insulin out of a body by flogging.

    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!

    Does this satisfy the definition of ironic?

  4. From the 30's... by Andrewkov · · Score: 4, Funny

    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!

    OK, Lazarus Long has slept with everyone and their mother...
    Well actually Lazarus Long has slept with everyone and his mother...
  6. Most Prolific Dead Author by LauraW · · Score: 4, Funny

    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.
