"There is no such thing as luck. There is only adequate or inadequate preparation to cope with a statistical universe." —Robert A. Heinlein, from Time Enough for Love.
Be Prepared – Or Die!
Bill Lermer travels with his father, stepmother and stepsister to colonize a Jovian moon in the process of being terraformed. Out here, self-reliance is the key to survival—and Bill finds that his Boy Scout motto isn't merely a pretty saying. It's a necessary rule for survival!
This is it: what we think is the best of the classic Robert Heinlein adventure novels that influenced a generation of engineers and space scientists and still set the heart racing and the mind afire!

Product ReviewI first read this in third grade (1994-95) in my Dad's battered paperback. I've comeback to it, and it's still a great story of a young man learning how to grow up.
There's some links to the Future History, but it stands on it's own magnificently.Posted on

Product ReviewI read this back in 1955 when I discovered the worlds of Robert Heinlein. For a "juvenile" it is quite mature, philosophically. Mentions of "Green Hills Of Earth" and Ortega's Torch seem to put it in the "Future History" section. Great fun, and well worth rereading.
