Two classic Robert A. Heinlein novels in one volume, with an all‑new introduction by Mark L. Van Name, author of the Jon and Lobo military SF series.
The Man Who Sold the Moon: D. D. Harriman is a billionaire with a dream: the dream of space for all mankind. The method? Anything that works. Maybe, in fact, Harriman goes too far. But he will give us the stars…
Orphans of the Sky: Hugh had been taught that, according to the ancient sacred writings, the Ship was on a voyage to faraway Centaurus. But he also understood that this must be allegory for a voyage to spiritual perfection. After all, the real world was only metal corridors and nothing else, right? And then Hugh begins to suspect the truth. . .
Two all‑time classics from seven‑time Hugo winner and Dean of Science Fiction, Robert A. Heinlein.

Product ReviewThen i read it i get the feeling off looking at the old black and with films. you se the film but as it is out to date it is interesting to se how it was befor. this books the story are good but it is limited normaly sience fiction is about the futer from history our date and futer. as i said the book is good but for me it gets boring as it is no new aspetcs or ides.
If somebody should take this books and put out one more book based on this books and go on. the whole thing should take a new look. it is the same as then you se one old !Conan-1900! movie and then se one from !2000! the story is the same but the feeling is new.Posted on
