If you really want to start with a juvenile, I recommend "Tunnel in the Sky", and "Time for the Stars" - but others may disagree.......  |
If you want a juvie first Conn, I second Pyan's Tunnel in the Sky recommendation. It's a quick, fun read and a good intro into some of Heinlein's recurring themes, although not very "spacey". If "spacey" is the type of sci fi you are looking for, other Heinlein might be better, perhaps Space Cadet or Red Planet...but definately get the restored Red Planet if you go that route.
PS...I can be quite dense it seems. I didn't even notice how old this thread was...just reviewed the post dates now. I thought knives had just created this thread. Thanks for bringing it back to the front loco...and for indirectly getting me riled up.
