| Space Cadet by Robert A. Heinlein | ||||
| 1948, Ace |

Reviewed 02.27.2008 | ||

I won't spend a lot of time reviewing
Heinlein's Space Cadet, as he is such a well-known author and this
being a short juvenile novel. What struck me most I suppose was how
much of Space Cadet was later re-used for his Starship Troopers. As
such, I don't feel that Space Cadet really covered any new ground
in comparison to that more fleshed-out novel of military training
and duty. If nothing else, Space Cadet is interesting for its place
in history - Heinlein's treatment of Venus in 1948, as merely a swampy
planet with a breathable atmosphere If nothing else, Space Cadet is interesting for its place in history - Heinlein's treatment of Venus in 1948, as merely a swampy planet with a breathable atmosphere makes one realize just how little we really knew about the other planets even as little as 60 years ago. |
