    You mentioned Children of the Sky as a Heinlein novel to read, but I don't remember any novel with that title. Did you mean Orphans of the Sky?
    For Us the Living was touched up by Spider Robinson, he helped Virginia sort out a lot of the 'lost' and unpublished works and 'restored' novels after RAH's death.

    I meant Orphans, I was doing that list from memory!

    Zardoz, thanks! It was bugging me all day, Spider Robinson! I knew that Ginny had helped out, but I could not remember Spider's name.

    And a great read. It is amazing to see how much that early work protrayed some of Robert's core beliefs and outlook on life.

    And BTW, one of our own fantastic kiltmakers actually new the great man personally!

    Interesting economic theories, too.

    For all you Heinlein afficianados, may I recommend John Barnes? Try Orbital Resonance- reminded me of Podkayne of Mars.
