1976 grade B+
1992 grade B+
2016 grade B+
A novel about high school students in a private school run by dictatorial earth bureaucrats on a colonized hypothetical Mars. It starts out pretty routine but becomes much better and more adult less than half way through. The book could definitely be considered a precursor to Stranger In A Strange Land since it has the exact same martians and their culture. In fact this book describes them much better and I recommend reading it before Stranger if possible. The book also includes many of the Earth/Mars political relations that are further developed in The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress, although there is no direct connection between the two stories.
