[Read by Andrew Eiden]
Don Harvey is a citizen of the Interplanetary Federation--yet no single planet can claim him as its own. His mother was born on Venus and his father on Earth, and Don himself was born on a spaceship in trajectory between planets. When his parents abruptly summon him away from school on Earth to join them on Mars he has no idea he's about to be plunged into deadly interplanetary intrigue. But the ship Don is traveling on is unexpectedly diverted to Venus, where the colony has launched a revolution against Earth's control. What's more, Earth troops have landed on Venus and are looking for him. Flat broke and homeless, Don will have to muster all his resources to stay alive. A riveting coming of age story set against a backdrop of a war between planets, this classic Heinlein novel crackles with action, adventure, politics, wit, and brilliant speculation about the world to come.

From the Publisher:
Like many people, I go way, way back with Heinlein. My very favorite book (and one that stands out in my mind--and with much affection--to this day) is Tunnel in the Sky. I really, really wanted to go off to explore new worlds with a covered wagon and horses, like the hero does at the very end of the book. But one of the nice things about Robert Heinlein is that he's got something for everyone. One of my best friends has a different favorite: Podkayne of Mars. Go figure.

Book Description Paperback: 7" x 4¼". Condition: Very Good: Light signs of wear. Cover Art: Tim White (illustrator). 1977 Edition. © 1951: A stand-alone novel by Robert A Heinlein. 1st printing of 1977 edition:- Synopsis: Don is a citizen of the Interplanetary Federation - yet no single planet can claim him as its own. His mother was born on Venus, his father on Earth, and Don himself was born on a spaceship in trajectory between planets. Thus he fights for the rights of this curious citizenship in very curious ways. Heinlein reveals in a dashing, fast moving style what can happen when politics - on an interplanetary scale - disregard the liberty of the individual. In the end, only the remarkable scientist-dragons of a rebellious Mars can resolve the conflict within a man who cannot live without the society that he knows is killing him:- (original cost £0.75).
