Heinlein Cover Art: Later Works

This page is another that is something of a mixed bag, for “later” is, I’m afraid, somewhere between slippery and ever so slightly a misnomer.  Now, the fiction here is all from 1961 and following, so at least that’s clear.  Things like “How to Be a Politician,” Tramp Royale, much of the nonfiction collected in the Virginia Edition, and his essay on the nature of science fiction, however, certainly predate Stranger...but at least we could say, with a shrug, that they’re later than the 1940s pulps.

Podkayne of Mars, 1963
​Podkayne is a “juvenile”—Heinlein’s last, actually—rather than a work aimed at adults per se, but after his post-Starship Troopers split with Scribner’s, it was published by Putnam’s, so the covers appear here rather than on the Scribner’s YA/Juveniles page.

The Pursuit of the Pankera, 2021
Picture
Cover art by Scott Grimando
The Pursuit of the Pankera was not published until 2021, over 30 years after the death of the author.  Unlike the 2006 Variable Star, however, which Spider Robinson wrote based on a long-forgotten outline for a YA novel Heinlein himself never started, The Pursuit of the Pankera, essentially an alternate version of The Number of the Beast​. actually was put together from the various parts of manuscript Heinlein already had produced but just not assembled...
