About the Book


Discover the wonders and secrets of a very special Mars
alongside Jim and Frank in this thrilling adventure, featuring the first
appearance of the Martian elder race by one of the greatest science fiction
writers of all.

Robert A. Heinlein's Red Planet
features the first appearance of the Martian elder race, and tells the story of
Jim and Frank's journey to Lowe Academy boarding school on Mars.

On
their way to school, the boys meet Gekko, a sentient Martian, and join in a
ritual called "growing together," learning about the planet and the
Martians' protective nature towards Jim's pet, Willis the Bouncer.

Jim's
impulsive nature lands him in trouble with the authoritarian headmaster, Mr.
Howe, who confiscates Willis. The boys rescue him, and Willis' eidetic memory
reveals a nefarious plan for the colony.

The boys run away
from school, encounter unexpected challenges, and their actions have profound
ramifications. The restored ending brings the Martian elder race and the boys'
discoveries to the forefront, leaving readers questioning everything they
thought they knew.



About the Author: Robert Anson Heinlein was an American science-fiction
author, aeronautical engineer, and retired Naval officer who is known as the
"dean of science fiction writers". His works emphasized scientific
accuracy, pioneering hard science fiction, and expressed admiration for
competence and critical thinking.

He was one of the best-selling
science-fiction novelists for many decades and is often considered one of the
"Big Three" of English-language science fiction authors along with
Isaac Asimov and Arthur C. Clarke.

Heinlein's work continues
to have a significant influence on the science-fiction genre and modern culture
more generally. He coined terms that have become part of the English language,
such as "grok", "waldo", and "speculative
fiction", and popularized existing terms like "TANSTAAFL",
"pay it forward", and "space marine". He anticipated
technologies such as mechanical computer-aided design and the modern cell-phone
in his writing.

Four of Heinlein's novels won Hugo Awards,
and he was named the first Science Fiction Writers Grand Master in 1974. Seven
of his works were awarded "Retro Hugos" fifty years after
publication. Heinlein repeatedly addressed social themes such as individual
liberty and self-reliance, the nature of sexual relationships, and the
influence of organized religion on culture and government within the framework
of his science-fiction stories.

He died in Carmel, California
in 1988.
