ROBERT A. HEINLEIN
has invented most of the concepts of modern science fiction - has stirred readers everywhere with his fast-paced yet thought-provoking stories - has won one-fourth of all the "Hugo" SF novel awards made to date!*

PODKAYNE OF MARS
is Heinlein at his fastest, a tale of an engagingly dangerous Marsgirl, and her incredible kid brother - who wouldn't interfere with the end of the world unless he could get a commission on it! Pack Podkayne and Clark into a luxury spaceship - and you've got trouble aplenty without worrying about the time bomb Clark smuggled aboard....

"SWIFT, DETAILED, BELIEVABLE... SLAMBANG ADVENTURE"

I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
