Red Planet - Robert Heinlein

Since I recently reread Stranger in a Strange Land, I thought I'll try one of Heinlein's earlier works that I've never read before. There is so much interesting trivia about Heinlein's books. Even for this juvenile scifi there is this article that talks about all the editing done in the original 1949 edition.

Red Planet was one of Heinlein's earlier works and a nice quick read. The text is at a 'juvenile' level yet in the plot, there is already Heinlein's trademark commentary on societal issues, group dynamics, and abuse of corporate power.
