Robert Heinlein: According to the Ultimate Science Fiction Web Guide, Robert Heinlein's story Universe, published in the May 1941 issue of Astounding is "the greatest story ever about a multi-generation interstellar space voyage". In 1964 the famous collection Orphans of the Sky (unfortunately, now out of print) was released, featuring Universe and Common Sense (both from 1941). James Michener was quite a fascinating man. Check out this article in the Grand Times Magazine. Interesting background info on him. More on the James A. Michener website, also. |
