Books Update: Re-Working Our Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Category: Robert Heinlein Part 3
*Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror: We’re continuing to introduce the new layout for our books categories, with an image for each book. This week, we return to our Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Category for the third and final part of our Robert A Heinlein re-listing. Heinlein was a Grand Master of science fiction, and alongside Asimov and Clarke, considered to be one of the ‘Big Three’ of the genre. His works were innovative in terms of the science, the perspective on social mores and political themes, and in them he speculated how progress in science and engineering might shape the future of politics, race, religion and sex. Seven books this week, including one with Heinlein as editor: Tomorrow, The Stars, featuring stories by Vonnegut, Leiber, Russell, Del Rey, Asimov and many others. A personal favourite is Podkayne of Mars, with its original ending. As always, more information, including condition notes, can be found in our catalogue.
