Ok, things are slightly stale here. However, we all love Heinlein (don’t you love Heinlein son ?). So, let’s separate the Fen from the Boys (and Girls of course). Here we go with .

Ogres – Heinlein Quiz thumbup1.gif

Just name the books .

Go on then, name the series.

According to Fen lore. A popular author wrote my first book. Then died.

I was too good a story to leave, so a fan wrote my next book. Then died.

My third book was written by another fan of the series. Then he died

No one is willing to write a fourth (as far as I'm aware)

PS. The original title was The Other Human Race but was changed
