In about two weeks, MESSENGER will make its first pass by
the planet Mercury. Mercury is hard to reach with our rocket
technology and as a result, it is a poorly mapped world, with
more than half of the planet still unmapped.
I'm planning on rereading "Brightside Crossing" on the 14th
to celebrate the fly-by. Are there any other classic stories about
Mercury that I should put in my queue?
"Lucky Starr and the Big Sun of Mercury"? Niven's outdated-immediately
story, I think it's "The Coldest Place"? The Walters juvenile "Mission to
Mercury" (which I know had others in its series because I read them as a
child, but that's the only one I actually own now)? Hm - wasn't one of the
original I, Robot stories set on Mercury?
