Orphans of the Sky
Robert A. Heinlein
Hardcover
(Putnam Pub Group, June 16, 1964)
Two novellae, *Universe* and *Commonsense,* detailing life during a centuries-long voyage to the stars. Back beyond the memory of any living man there was a great mutiny in which the Captain and his officers perished. From that time it had been the duty of scientists to promulgate the sublime laws of Jordan's Plan, to interpret such sacred books as *Basic Modern Physics,* to instruct the young in the Ways Of The Ship.
