Sci Fi Wire reports on the new book Space Cadets, published by and at L.A. Con IV and edited by Mike Resnick to honor Frankie Thomas, who was scheduled to be a Guest of Honor at the convention but died earlier this year. Thomas was most famous for playing the lead in the 1950s TV show Tom Corbett, Space Cadet (itself loosely based on Robert A. Heinlein's novel Space Cadet), so the new book consists of stories of space cadets by such SF authors as Nancy Kress, Catherine Asaro, Barry Malzberg, and David Brin.
