Publishers Marketplace: Recent Deals: “Robert A. Heinlein’s METHUSELAH’S CHILDREN, about a large group of long-lived Americans who leave Earth to escape persecution and encounter experiences with aliens somewhat reminiscent of episodes in Homer’s Odyssey, to James Baen at Baen Books, by Eleanor Wood of Spectrum Literary Agency (NA).”

The book is a classic that I would gladly re-read … but I won’t be reading about those aliens [who are] somewhat reminiscent of episodes in Homer’s Odyssey! What, do they look like an episode?

What’s next, aliens somewhat reminiscent of episdodes in Gilligan’s Island? Now that’s scary…
