This is the seminal novel of a young man's education as a member of an elite, paternalistic non-military organization of leaders dedicated to preserving human civilization, the Solar Patrol, a provocative parallel to Heinlein's famous later novel, Starship Troopers (which is about the military). Only the best and brightest--the strongest and the most courageous--ever manage to become Space Cadets, at the Space Academy. They are in training to be come part of the elite guard of the solar system, accepting missions others fear, taking risks no others dare, and upholding the peace of the solar system for the benefit of all. But before Matt Dodson can earn his rightful place in the ranks, his mettle is to be tested in the most severe and extraordinary ways--ways that change him forever, from the midwestern American boy into a man of the Solar Patrol. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Everything we know about wolves... IS WRONG. Have you ever wondered why they howl at the Moon? Why do they raise their heads to the night sky and sing to it? Maybe it's because they come from there... And they are expecting an answer. Get ready to follow Talah; a brave, young wolf from the Moon that will change the way you see wolves... forever. A book dedicated to anyone big or small that still feels like running, jumping, getting drench in rain, screaming, and howling!!

Originally published in 1950, at the height of the Tom Corbett, Space Cadet TV show's popularity, this coloring book presents exciting science fiction images featuring Tom, Astro, Roger, and their spaceship, the Polaris.

Matty Cardarople here,I am a Space Cadet. I'm a student of the universe. This book is a small collection of spaced-themed original poetry. I love learning about new ways to live life more fully. This book is a reflection of how I live my life, and what I've learned along the way from my family, teachers, heroes, and friends. My intention in writing this book of poetry is for you to reflect on your own life and for you to follow your dreams without fear. I have loved poetry ever since high school. My English teacher Mr. Ferguson would have weekly readings and I'd always be there. It was the first way for me to really express myself as a human of the planet Earth, and I think poetry influenced me to become an actor. I hope this book motivates you to create your own art, gives you encouragement, and brings you some joy. You can also spread the lessons you have learned about the universe from this book to others. I'm happy you're here on planet Earth.

Humorous story about Commander Dork and the group of off-beat students he must train at the Space Academy.
