Sequel novella "Common Sense" was published in ASF in October of the same year. Both were slightly modified by the author and published together as Orphans of the Sky in 1963. <P>This science fiction classic became a paradigm for many sf plots to follow. An interstellar ship drifting aimlessly through space is peopled by inhabitants who have forgotten its history. The ship is their universe as they farm, raise families, and battle the mutants that inhabit the ship's upper levels. Can young Hugh Hoyland unravel the ship's mysteries and convince its inhabitants of his discoveries? Heinlein adroitly explores issues of morality and the folly of blind loyalty while delivering an action-packed story full of believable characters. 1021849 1963 Orphans of the Sky total:836|5:142|4:299|3:326|2:62|1:6| 836 3017 1035 39 2527427 2843623421 9782843623424 2 1 3.61 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2527427.Enfant_tomb_des_toiles 2 0 false Sat Sep 05 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 03 09:22:35 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 07 12:10:22 -0700 2009 more...]]> 50832 0671318454 9780671318451 792 33 3.61 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170371969m/50832.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/50832.Orphans_of_the_Sky 4 0 false Sat Apr 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Sat Nov 22 02:09:24 -0800 2008 Sat Nov 22 02:10:21 -0800 2008 more...]]> 2284942 0399106138 9780399106132 4 1 3.61 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2284942.Orphans_of_the_Sky 3 0 true Fri Sep 18 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 16 13:15:51 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 15 10:07:52 -0700 2009 more...]]> 50832 0671318454 9780671318451 792 33 3.61 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170371969m/50832.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/50832.Orphans_of_the_Sky 5 0 false Mon Nov 16 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Fri Oct 23 21:24:51 -0700 2009 Wed Nov 18 11:43:00 -0800 2009 2 more...]]> 50832 0671318454 9780671318451 792 33 3.61 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170371969m/50832.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/50832.Orphans_of_the_Sky 3 0 true Sat Oct 04 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu Oct 02 18:16:03 -0700 2008 Sat Oct 04 08:54:13 -0700 2008 Robert A.
