His popularity grew over the years, probably reaching its peak after the publication of his best-known work, Stranger in a Strange Land (1961).

After the 1940s he largely avoided shorter fiction. His first book, Rocket Ship Galileo (1947), was followed by a large number of novels and story collections, including works for children and young adults. Heinlein returned to writing in 1947, with an eye toward a more sophisticated audience. He continued to write for that publication-along with other notable science-fiction writers-until 1942, when he began war work as an engineer. His first story, “ Life-Line,” was published in the action-adventure pulp magazine Astounding Science Fiction.
