  • Thanks Beichst, it WAS Tunnel in the Sky by Heinlein. It was a Nova not a Super-Nova. I was actually asking on behalf of a friend, but I am fairly sure I read this a very long time ago. If you answer it I will mark it as a correct answer.

  • Thank you for the offer. As it was simply a dup, no need for me to submit an answer. Just glad to hear this was it. A great juvenile SF book that IMHO has held up well over the years.
