I would be extremely disappointed (but not surprised) if it didn't turn into a generic special effects CGI masturbate-a-thon.
But it would still generate lots of extra sales of the book. Ginny Heinlein told me that when that travesty of Starship Troopers was made, sales of the novel skyrocketed and stayed high for quite awhile. So even a bad adaptation can lead people to a book that makes 'em think.

Unbeleivable, one of the great regrets in life is that there will be no more books from RAH, I had no idea there might be some still turning up. I would buy this purely on the Heinlein Prize contribution. Excellent

Just remember that "For Us, the Living" was not something Heinlein thought he wanted published. Indeed, it could be argued that the final version was retitled "Beyond This Horizon." Nonetheless, it is, as you say, great to read anything by the Master. Since he was known to be a prolific letter writer, I keep hoping that someone will get a collection of his letters together. But, sadly, I expect that most of his friends didn't keep them.

She was a lovely lady. Within a couple of months of starting our aquaintance, I understood exactly why Heinlein left his first wife for Ginny.
