Hardy Boys. Hard cover, too. Let’s solve those mysteries!

Time enough for Love by Heinlein

Uh, may I introduce you to Dark Horse Comics?

I hated reading in elementary school. Then one day I found out my Dad had all the Hardy Boys books in classic hard cover, just stored away. He said I could pick whatever flavor of Ice cream we got next if I read two of them by the weekend. I was stubborn and read 4 of them. I got my ice cream, S’mores, and then kept reading them. Over a hundred Hardy Boys books, I’m sure. Then I discovered Tom Swift and all of my Dad’s classic Sci Fi books and jumped right into Asimov, Harrison, Heinlein, Stirling, Chrichton, and others. All before I turned 12 and I never looked back. Thanks for the Ice Cream Dad :)

Not exactly the same but my father passed away before he could finish publishing his 5th book. Luckily, it was the last in that series and since I was his final editor, I had all of the final chapters and I was able to finish editing them and publish his last book posthumously. His readers were very grateful and supportive. I miss him but am proud I was able to do that for him. Too many great authors pass away leaving their works unfinished.

Half Priced Books.

Also, check your local library for their book sales. Most have at least one or two big sales a year to make room for new ones.

Time Enough for Love by Heinlein

A Kid in King Arthur’s Court

The Dragon Knight series starts out scifi and ends up fantasy. It’s not really time travel but feels like.

Spellsinger has a similar modern fish out of water feel to it.

But my favorite is probably the Emberverse series.

Stranger in a Strange Land was first released completely gutted because it was controversial. The unabridged version wasn’t released until after Heinlein’s death.
