Graduate or Perish: Tunnel in the Sky by Robert A. Heinlein - Reactor

Graduate or Perish: Tunnel in the Sky by Robert A. Heinlein, an excellent review by Alan Brown.

Oh yeah, the juveniles are great. I have a different ordering than this article author though, IMO:

First Tier:

  • Red Planet
  • Starman Jones
  • Space Cadet
  • Between Planets

Second Tier:

  • The Rolling Stones
  • Farmer in the Sky
  • Citizen of the Galaxy
  • Tunnel in the Sky
  • The Star Beast

I don't remember reading these:

  • Have Spacesuit Will Travel
  • Rocket Ship Galileo
  • Time for the Stars

Second-tier Heinlein is still better than most SF of that era. Parts of "Rolling Stones" and "Farmer in the Sky" are particularly memorable.
